As part of my efforts to become financially independent, I am looking to diversify my investments. Part of the goal is to be able to generate regular, recurring income. The other part is to ensure that my portfolio covers a wide range of assets so I am not at risk if a single asset class does poorly.

Since most of my portfolio is in stocks and bonds right now, adding real estate is something I am looking into. I have been studying materials and trying to learn about the industry before I jump in. Part of my learning process has been looking at online materials, including blogs, about real estate.

One of those, Real Estate Investing for Real, has an interesting post on one of the homes they looked at. They titled it A Fishy Abandoned House Tale. This is not a typical tale, otherwise real estate investing would be a poor choice of careers.

That kind of story is why I am not rushing in to real estate. Still, I am convinced that real estate is an important asset class to add, especially since the real estate cycles are different than they are for other assets I follow.
