<Anybody who considers real estate a "paper asset" needs to have his head examined.>

I guess I need my head examined. When buyers swamp the market with zero down financing and have zero equity and refinance at 100% LTV yes I would consider RE a paper asset. And yes I see a bubble in RE prices so let's watch the delinquency rates and default rates going forward to see if RE is a paper or hard asset for a lot of people, but not all.

I guess when the Japanese bought Pebble Beach on one coast and the Rockefeller Center on the other coast, and then sold it at a steep discount they must have considered their RE a hard asset? LOL. More paper got shuffled. Plain and simple Paper......
