With real estate, you maintain much more decisionmaking control and although we experienced a wicked housing collapse last decade, many real estate investors can still argue they maintained cashflow and that their respective market didn't feel the same pain others did.The knocks I would have against real estate is it is significantly less liquid and the fees are much higher when it comes to buying, selling and financing.With the introduction of Robin Hood, it's a race to the bottom as brokerages have been slashing trading fees in recent years.In my mind, there is nothing more passive than buy and hold stock ownership, though you may be relying more on capital appreciation, whereas many real estate investors prefer passive cashflow.
