If you wonder what is better between investing in the stock market or real estate, there is no answer to that as both have pluses and minuses and then it can come down to knowledge, risk and volatility tolerance, personal psychology and perception, which are different from each of us.

There are no books on creative deals that actually teach you how, it all begins with a basic knowledge of real estate, throw in a dash of business knowledge, some finance, a bit of business law, some sociology and psychology then add a twist of marketing.
