What would you spend in rent over that same 30 years and have $0 to show for it at the end of the 30 years?At $3k a month over 30 years it's a $1 million plus. So I guess the hose has to be worth a million at payoff. What would the taxes be by then?
I guess you could always pitch a tent on Burnside to live in, but then where would you keep your guns?
Buy a gun if you want a gun. You are fooling yourself if you think it is an investment though.
I loaded up on milsurplus in the early 90's and the lowest appreciating guns have only doubled in value. All I have to do is find someone willing to pay gunbroker prices plus background check plus one if not two FFL fees and shipping. Or take them to a gun shop and give the majority of the profit to them in consignment fees. Or sell them out right to the gun shop for penny's on the dollar
My point is, guns are not a very liquid asset.
P.s. I bought my first house back in the 90's for $3800 (heavily fire damaged). I rolled the profit into my second house and that profit into my current (3rd) house which has a Zillow estimate of 1.2 mil with $1831 monthly payments (including property tax and insurance) at 3.1% interest with $118k principal remaining. Do I pay off a 3.1% mortgage early? I am very torn since I am already maxing my work 401k retirement and IRA's.
