However, longer-term bonds (1-5+ years) are subject to interest rate volatility:If rates rise, bond values drop, potentially leading to negative net returns.If rates fall, bonds appreciate, but gains are capped by their fixed coupon rates.While Treasuries provide stability, they offer limited upside and carry hidden risks for medium- to long-term maturities.Why Real Estate Is a Stronger Option in Today’s MarketMultifamily real estate, particularly value-add properties, presents an asymmetric risk-reward profile that Treasuries simply cannot match.

When investing in high cash-flow markets, I always recommend working with an investor friendly agent so you're able to gain the right insight on the different areas and the risks involved.
