    The key is in how you ask the question!

    Would you like to buy a liability or create an asset?

    Get out and meet people

    Then start a business. Buying a home to live in is buying a liability.

    invest in a beaten down stock that you know is sure to double.....then sell it and use the cash to invest in a business.

    easier said than done

    How much risk to you want to take?

    Buying a house is a pretty safe investment. I have been an entrepreneur for many years, one thing for certain: If I had to do it all over again, I would. I leveraged everything I had. Quit my job, took equity on my house, cash out my 401K, almost lost my wife. It is almost a necessity to suffer to realize your dream. No pain no gain.

    So the question is how much risk will you take? If you are not willing to leverage everything you have then, I would invest in a real estate. Worste case is you have a place to live.
