What Do Stock Investors Know About Real Estate?
Jul 28th, 2007 by Lewis
On my other blog over at LewisEmpire.com I wrote a post called Thanks For The Bad Advice Fools. It was based on a recent article written by The Motley Fool about Real Estate Investing versus Stock Investing. If you want a good laugh at some bad comparisons by The Fools then I’d suggest a visit (Click Here).
Here are some highlights:
Using the example by the Motley Fools, a person who invested $10,000 in 1980 would have approximately $115,981 over a 25 year period - an amazing return. Now look at the 25 year value of a $76,400 property purchased in 1980 - that’s right $295,100! After the renter pays off the mortgage and interest, the real estate investment would be worth $295,100 or a sweet $179,119 more than the stock market investment. Even with zero cash flow, you still have twice the money.
Bottom Line: When done correctly, Real Estate Investing will beat the Stock Market hands-down. Visit Thanks For The Bad Advice Fools for the entire article.
