Does anyone have an opinion as to why one should invest in real estate versus the stock market? Real estate investing seems exciting but investing in the stock market can be a more passive way to grow wealth long term. Do most people do a blend of both?

I’m brand new to real estate investing. No investments yet, just started educating myself so I am thrilled I found this community (and the podcast and YouTube videos). Real estate investing has always interested me, specifically flipping or rentals. I’m an architect so this seems like a natural realm to use my familiarity with construction, scheduling and permitting for investing and wealth building.

Maybe I just need to decide what focus is right for me. Maybe flips are better for me because those are one and done, and rentals are sustained work to manage properties and tenants.

I’d appreciate all your thoughts. Thanks.
