Comment on Ask HN: Getting depressed about money. How do I make a meaningful amount “fast”?parent

Comments

The fist part is kind of garbage but real estate is true.

For whatever reason real estate gets preferential risk treatment in the US. If you pick a hot area you can double your leverage in 7-10 years that’s typically a 500% return. You don’t pay taxes on that gain and your downside is limited to 20% in most non recourse states.

That being said it would be hard to guess what a hot area is right now. Maybe Boise Idaho, and Bend Oregon
