I think this an interesting idea. Information on equity markets and stock plays (individual stocks, mutual funds, more exotic stuff) should be complemented by information on real-estate and "hard assets". Having watched the market tank like everyone else, I now more than ever appreciate not having ALL your $$ in the market. And real-estate is something you can sweat equity your way into... and slowly build a sizeable portfolio.
If the group is interested in learning this... and Astrus is right in that learning here is the goal.. I'd participate.
