RE: Your House Is Not An Asset. And Soon, It Will Be Worth Nothing.

Sounds like you read "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" and enjoyed it just as much as I did haha. Kiyosaki did always say that a house is actually a liability, NOT an asset. And remember to stay out of those employee / self-employed quadrants!
Personally I am hesitant to invest in real estate given the precarious global financial situation we find ourselves in. When government is working well your property rights are respected, but what about in a (economic) disaster situation? They may need to confiscate your house "for the greater good", and who knows, redistribute it as they see fit. Have you looked into "the great taking"?
There is one asset, however, that cannot be confiscated from you ;) and would likely increase in value in the event of economic turmoil. Ultimately, it might be better to buy physical property after the dust settles.
