Housing is, historically, a not-so-great investment. It has transaction fees, requires maintenance, and you often do not get back the money you put into upgrades. The article paints an overly optimistic picture of owning. Nobody expects housing to go up like it did the last few years. Invest in stocks or index funds. Spend your weekends on your hobbies, not lawn care or painting walls.
