Right now I live in an apartment in the city and am worried about civil unrest and possibly even war. I wouldn't buy anything fancy, just a basic 150-250k house in the suburbs like pic related, safe area 40 mins away from a big city. I know there are better investments such as gold, silver, miners, BTC, ETH, LINK, oil, etc and I have some investments already but none of them provide shelter. I have $50k in cash to put down. With a 30 year fixed rate mortgage I could play the coming inflation in my favor. If housing crashes it wouldn't affect me that bad because I'm not buying giant luxury mansions just a basic house. Good idea?
Again, I'm worried about civil war in the coming months/years, especially if dems win. But don't want to make a financial mistake that could potentially set me back years. White 33 year old IT boomer forever alone.
