Invest in Real Estate or Stocks???

07-31-2008, 06:40 AM

I have some amount of earnings apart from the ones that I save for my necessities. I want the earnings invested in some real estate or may be in stocks. I do have some knowledge on stocks but, earlier my cousin had invested in the stocks and had a set-back. I know that you need to be updated in that but – What is a better option from the two???

Hi there,

This is an interesting question, i know here in miami home prices have soared an absurd amount in the last 3 years. So much so that they are basically unaffordable to most working people, and outside investors are buying up lots of them. However the common fear alot of would-be buyers I see now (those who can afford the properties at their inflated prices), is that the market for homes will crash (they envision it as a stock market crash, when in reality its more like what Brad said). The biggest risk I see in these hot markets for realestate is that the prices flatten, and all those people who bought these second or third homes to flip them are caught with their hands in the cookie jar, and they can’t make a profit on their investment, then they realize they can’t afford to hold onto these houses for another few years till the market rebounds…

Hi,
Welcome here,
I am going to be suggest that real estate sector is not only for nice business but secured future business real estate
even you can be get some profit if you have a big budge or any partner. i have been running
my property business for last five years and found satisfactory return but the stock market
has a big risk there is no security of future so that's why real estate market is better than
stock .
Thanks

Real estate would be the safest bet anyday ..ud not atleast lose your capital ...with market trends on the plummet in recent times better to invest in bullion and real estate!
