I don’t think there is a clear answer here because you’d have to compare a specific property to potentially an entire asset class, when I buy the s&p I’m buying 500 stocks, when I buy a bond I’m buying a yield but each property is its own deal, what I will say is I think on average real estate is incredibly overrated asset right now (with the caviot that I do think the U.S. debt situation has some significant tail risk long term, and real estate is probably the best hedge against that) but I think to me it’s very basic in pretty much any market you are looking at even with 20% down significant negative cash flow, with housing so unaffordable it seems unlikely we have a ton of appreciation going forward, I can keep my cash liquid and still get over 5% risk free in a moneu market fund with zero effort or risk, I can invest in 500 great companies who can innovate there way to more profits, vs real estate which for better or worse is more of a fixed asset, I also have this theory that since anyone with extra money sitting around or a 401k just throws it into the market you can end up with higher multiple’s than you’d otherwise think vs housing which is again much more set by affordability than sticking some extra money in the market, all that is to say unless I find a deal that has above average returns I’d rather just collect money from some mix of stock and bonds vs paying money each month for the privilege of owning a property that may or may not go up in value.
