Even though some days I would be happy to be out of college, this year has been a great learning experience.  In fact, I would even go as far as to say that it has been fun (gasp!), and it is mostly thanks to the class that I am taking on real estate investing.

Alright, the class isn’t just about real estate investing, but rather investing in general.  For me, real estate has really caught my eye and it might be something that I will probably get into in the future.

So it should come as no surprise that I am writing my term paper for the class on real estate and it will be specifically on the historic prices of Tampa homes for sale over the last fifty years.  Now, it isn’t going to be a list or anything, but rather a study of real estate investment portfolios and their returns over the last half century.

I have found that the realtor’s that I have spoken with have been very helpful along the way and many have shared their insights on the current and past performance of the real estate market in the area.  In fact, I would say that they have not only been very helpful, but have made this whole writing process a lot easier than I would have expected.

I am hoping to present them with copies once the paper is completed as a thank you for their help.  I really couldn’t have done it without their participation.
