BUFFETT: Why Real Estate is a "LOUSY Investment"?

Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger explain why they aren't investors in real estate and believe it is such a lousy investment.

Question: “I wonder if you could give us a glimpse into your investment process, the way you approach looking at a particular industry. And I wonder if you could use real estate as an example.
I know real estate hasn’t been a big, huge part of Berkshire’s portfolio over the years. And I wonder if that’s because you view real estate as a commodity business or if, maybe, the cash flows from real estate tend to be more predictable than, perhaps, from some other industries, and thus, it tends to be less likely to be mispriced, and therefore less likely to find terrific bargains in real estate. So, just wondering if we could — if we were watching a discussion between you and Charlie hashing out the merits of real estate,[tell us] how it would go.”

Warren Buffett is a business entrepreneur, investor, and philanthropist from the United States. Berkshire Hathaway is currently led by him as chairman and CEO.
