Dividend Investing vs Real Estate Investing

[Justin B.]

I saw this post over at Sure Dividend and thought to myself what an awesome discussion worth having. Of course I will always follow the simple wisdom of not putting all one's eggs in one basket, so I can't choose any one method.

Wanted to see what other's thought of this topic and if anyone had any opinions on it.

Here's a nice snapshot of the article:

Investing is all about earning the highest return possible, while minimizing risk. Of course, there are many routes investors can take to reach this destination.

Two of the most common ways people invest, is in the stock market, and in real estate.

The subject of dividend stocks versus real estate is a complex topic, with no one right answer. What works for one individual may not work for someone else.

As a result, there are many different viewpoints on the subject. If you were to ask 10 different investors which is better, you might get 10 different answers.

There are pros and cons to each strategy, although studies have shown over the years that one approach may indeed be better than the other.

This article will discuss the various advantages and disadvantages of dividend investing versus real estate investing.

My two cents, I enjoy multifamily ownership, as well as an income producing portfolio of stocks - some of which like $MORL, give over a 20% dividend a year. So like I mentioned in the beginning, I like an either/and approach not an either/or approach.

What about you?
