Real Estate vs Stocks

The Dude said:
"It would perhaps be smarter, if wealth accumulation is your goal, to rent and put money in the stock market, which has historically shown much higher returns than the housing market," said Nobel Prize-winning economist Robert Shiller at a Standard and Poor's conference last week.

Is this all you can offer? I mean come on. You are the Grand Wizard of Finance. Surely you can do better than quoting Shiller.

Each market/sub market is different of course and at what rate you get in makes a huge difference in your overall success. Buying in 2009/2010 when the market was flooded with foreclosures has paid off nicely. Again depending on where you live has the market peaked today? Would you be buying at the top?

There is a saying a mentor of mine taught me and when he first said it, I didn't understand it but I do now. It is "you make your profit when you buy, not when you sell"

First of all, I wasn't criticizing Shiller. I was criticizing your inability to come up with anything more than one liners or quoting someone else. You aren't really doing much to burgeon your supposed finance credentials


Secondly you obviously don't understand Shiller's quote. He is speaking of an individual buying a house vs. renting. And I agree with him 1000%. People who buy their individual home as a means of it being an investment and/or the interest deduction only are fools. There are many reasons to own home to do it on those two alone is foolish.

But when I speak of investing in real estate that is not what I am talking about.

Of course you never addressed one of the points I made about real estate. Maybe you are too ignorant on the subject and you hide behind one liners?

:dunno:

Real estate is a great JOB for millions especially if you don't want to go the college route!

It just does not measure up for retirement investing as compared to stocks.

not everyone has the same goals as you.


real estate is a great way to add to your retirement fund if done correctly.


renting is easy


it takes very little time out of your year


You can make the property pay for its self and then sell it after its paid off by renters.


easy long term add to your retirement package.


when you buy your first home by something you can rent later.


then when you buy your second home KEEP and rent your first home.


its easy as hell compared to many investments
 
He's saying stocks outperform real estate 2 to 1.
He invented the real estate tracking index.

Real estate is great for the middle class who are for some reason afraid of stocks!
The whole discussion was which returns more. Studies show stocks nearly double real estate.

Except you add nothing to the discussion and only consider capital appreciation. There is more to investing in real estate than that. And the more you spout your one liners the more ignorant you look. Hell Deshtard is smarter on this topic than you are.

Here is a hint. Do you know that a cap rate of 10% a year is better than your 8%?

You won't show any data saying it's better, because it doesn't exist
