Roots let you buy in at only a hundred dollars. When I started, in 1989, a Franklin was the lowest buy-in offered by anybody. Thank you Scudder funds. It was a reach at $4.25/hour. You can find it, somehow. Do it. Start now or work until it kills you. In 2023 I was taken by the impression that the S&P 500, my friend for most of the last 4 decades, was again showing signs of "excessive exuberance." I started actively readjusting my 95% stock portfolio toward tangible assets, specifically guarding against the results of dilution of the fiat currency. God isn't making more land, so that will rise in real value, not just in shriveling dollars. Roots is my sole play in single family residential real estate. Their sales pitches will give you why I went this way instead of buying a fixer upper near where I live. I didn't buy home builders because a quick internet check will educate you about their engagement in a race to the bottom on quality. We all know why prices have continued rising since rising interest took the legs out of the family buyer market. Big investors are returning America to it's pre WW2 history where most people DIDN'T own their home. If you can't beat them, you can beat them to some of the houses. I buy farmland through a reit that partners with farmers to sustain family farming. I buy houses through Roots. You can join the big boys without becoming part of the problem. This does not seem to be hurting me financially. Yes, it was an unsustainabely wonderful 2 years on Wall Street. Yes, Trump's election might push the reckoning back indefinitely, but that is time given to us to act. Roots returns, so far are a bit better than average historic reit returns, and that is good for me. Until the national debt starts actually dropping, something that hasn't happened in my life, then the risk remains that an administration my decide to "pay" it by collapsing the currency 90 or 98%. They won't announce the plan. They may not even understand money enough to plan it. This is not the generation to bury cash in a jar. Roots houses will be worth something in whatever is left of the currency, in that years numbers. That is how to win inflation instead of being wrecked by it. In the mean time your investment grows quietly, untaxed. And you can get in for 5 or 6 cents on this month's rent dollar. Do it.
