What Buffett’s learned from buying real estate

Fortune has released an exclusive excerpt of Warren Buffett’s annual shareholder letter.

In the shared passage, Buffett discusses his real-estate investment experience. Turns out, he bought two key pieces of property in 1986 (a 400-acre farm north of Omaha) and 1993 (retail property in New York). Both times, bubbles had recently burst and the property values were low.
