Mutual funds investing

Ben Colangelo
Posted

Hi, I was thinking about putting additional money into a mutual fund. If I want to invest in real estate in 3-5 years is it a good choice to put the money in mutual funds that are gaining a good percent ( not as good as real estate) is this a good choice to park money until your ready to invest in real estate?

@Ben Colangelo

I would look for low expense ratio, passive ETFs. They are more tax efficient, more liquid and cheaper.
