Is it Better to Invest in Stocks or Real Estate?


Is it better to invest in stocks or real estate?

I have been helping my clients find rentals for years. It has been so fun to see them earn a monthly cash flow as well as watch their equity grow. One of my clients bought at the low of the market and then used the equity in the home for a business loan to start a gym - which is now highly successful. They still have the rental, which is still giving positive cash flow too - PLUS, there is even more equity now.


I often think I am partial to real estate just because I am a realtor. But again, Americans have shown that real estate is the better investment:


1. Real estate has outranked stocks, savings accounts, and gold as the best long-term investment among Americans for the past 7 years.


2. The belief in the stability of housing as a long-term investment remains strong, despite the many challenges our economy faces today.


3. Real estate is also the only investment you can also live in. That’s a big win!



Is it better to invest in stocks or real estate?

You can invest in real estate simply as the home you live in or you can also invest in rentals. I personally love both. I love my home and I love my rentals. With rentals, you get both cashflow and equity. So it is a double win!


Please don't hesitate to contact me for any questions about investing in real estate in Utah.
