In an article called 10 Questions for Jim Cramer, Time Magazine reported the spirited money man said that real estate was a once in a lifetime opportunity. He explained that because mortgage rates and affordability were the best he had seen in his life, coupled with the fact that there are no competitive buyers, real estate is a better investment than stocks right now.
