MP this recent boom is perhaps a once in a lifetime or maybe even once in a century phenomena. Most of them also confuse lifestyle with rational sound investment that generates true cash flow and equity in the long run regarding their RE.

Her mantra, "you can't go wrong with Florida real estate".

Did she get stucco?

You should do her a favor and buy her some books on the florida real estate crash in the 20's. The marx brothers did a movie parody about it - cocoanuts - some quotes:

Hammer: Three years ago I came to Florida without a nickel in my pocket. Now I've got a nickel in my pocket.

Hammer: Wages? Do you want to be wage slaves? Answer me that!
Bellhops: No.
Hammer: No, of course not. But what makes wage slaves? Wages!

Hammer: Why, it's the most exclusive residential district in Florida. *Nobody* lives there.

Hammer: You can have any kind of a home you want. You can even get stucco. Oh, how you can get stucco.
