STOCKS VS REAL ESTATE: WHICH IS BETTER?

"Real estate beats stocks because it makes money in four ways: loan payoff, appreciation, tax savings, and cash flow. Put $200,000 in stocks at 7.2% annual growth, and in 20 years, it’s $800,000. But use that same $200,000 to buy a $1 million property, and even without appreciation or cash flow, tenants paying off the loan leave you with a $1 million asset. Add appreciation and cash flow, and it’s $3 million.

Plus, real estate meets a basic need—housing—and gives you big tax benefits. It’s simple: don’t wait to buy real estate—buy real estate and wait!"
