>> Nope, I still believe real estate investments is where its at, even though you don't get the instant Wall Street rush.

I used to own rental real-estate. I got tired of it. It wasn't large enough to hire a professional manager. And it was too much hassle for me personally. So I sold the units and moved on to the Wall Street rush. But I am still a silent partner in a small shopping strip, which is doing well. If I invest in real estate again, it would be through REITs which pay dividends. I think that would be relatively stress free if one has enough money and diversification. That will be my next step, after I hit it big in disk drives.

so are your apt buildings cash flow positive hj? (the second unit on puget sound i rent is cash flow positive, but having no mortgage on the place does help with that a bit <g> but still, counting LT maintenance, i expect to be cash flow negative. however, i am only renting half the livable space on the property.) rob
