<prompt> Human: Say you were to buy a house for a price of N and then sell the house for the same price N in M years.Example: 140k now and sell for 140k in 2 years.Without putting any significant improvements into the house, ect. Would you see this as a failure, wash, or success? How would you view the money spent? Could you see any loss as another form of renting ?  <response>: Youd lose in three ways. One: Youll pay 6 when you sell. Two, your opportunity costs of having the down payment in this house instead of elsewhere. Three, inflation. The money you take out is worth less than the money that went in.
