Real Estate Vs Stocks

Golan Corshidi

Hey all!

I have a good friend with cash who is looking to invest. However, he believes investing in the stock market is the best place to consistently have high returns with low effort. I feel real estate is a better investment for several different reasons but I wanted to ask what yall think are the main benefits of investing in real estate versus investing in the stock market. Ultimately, I know there is no one right answer that is dependent on many factors but I am just curious what you all think.

Thank you!

Both can be terrible and wonderful-it depends. I like REI because it pays me every month and I still have my original investment growing in value.
