John Paulson Quotes

I still think buying a home is the best investment any individual can make.

A home is still the biggest asset that most Americans own.

I think homes are a palpable form of investment, and I understand them.

It's tangible, it's solid, it's beautiful. It's artistic, from my standpoint, and I just love real estate.

I'm really sensible with my money. So I would like to own my own house rather than rent.

Real estate investing, even on a very small scale, remains a tried and true means of building an individual's cash flow and wealth.

Many a man who pays rent all his life owns his own home; and many a family has successfully saved for a home only to find itself at last with nothing but a house.

Owning a home is a keystone of wealth - both financial affluence and emotional security.

Many savers are also homeowners; indeed, a family's home may be its most important financial asset. Many savers are working, or would like to be.

Well, real estate is always good, as far as I'm concerned.

The American dream is still to own your home.

Our industry is full of all sorts of eccentricities and one of them is owning property.
