The difference between farmers and RE investors are vast in two key areas.
Farmers take on much more risk, due to the vagaries of the weather.
Unless we are stupid enough to run without insurance and to expose all of our properties to lawsuits. Secondly, the farmers are providing our food sources. While shelter is a fundamental need, it is secondary to food. As is evidenced by Ethiopia, India, Bangladesh, etc., without food and water, the shelter we provide is worthless. Just some thoughts.
