Learning that I prefer money invested in real estate over money sitting in the bank... don't we all?!

I’ve heard arguments for both, but I’m curious—what’s your preference, and why?

I have several clients who prefer the middle/southern part of the country so places like Memphis, Little Rock, Oklahoma or Texas.

The returns that investors require is generally based on their perceived risk of the project and the investment period.With my CFO clients who do real estate development, most LPs in the small-scale residential space (SFR & 2-4 MF) are investing for 3-5 years and are looking for a preferred return of 8% with an IRR of 16%-18% for turn-key and 18%-24% for value add.
