Do you prioritize real estate over stocks?

[Mark Costa]

Do any of you invest in the stock market (i.e. S&P 500) *and* real estate properties at the same time?

If so, why and how do you prioritize both? (Do you invest a percentage of your cash flow into each?)

Clearly the downside is each portfolio will not grow / compound as quickly due to lack of total focus.

On the other hand / upside, if one does well  it can feed the other and if both do well that’s even better.

My motivation for asking is because I am already 100% invested in stock market as I am just learning about REI.

I do not invest in stocks at all. Can they be a good investment? Absolutely. But you have zero control over it. I think real estate has far more tangible benefits and can produce better wealth and income than stocks for most investors.
