I don't quite understand the american ideal sometimes; now here i go. i'm starting this because it was request, i understand we all come from different places and look at the same situations differently but please no name calling.There is so much intertwined here that its hard to unravel but lets take a look.

Through out my few years of investing I have built a small team of investors and real estate professionals who bounce deals off each over time making me pretty intertwined with our market.

Logan A.Great question, but probably very complicated answer because the real estate industry is so intertwined with the rest of the economy.I'd say if you want to find the answer to this question, you need to pin down what aspect of the RE market you want to compare against the stock market.For simplicity sake, let's assume you care about pricing (appreciation).

All the components of your financial strategy are intertwined, but the challenge is finding an integrated way to approach them.
