It was a groundbreaking study because it was the first to study returns of stock, bonds and residential real-estate since the 1870's across multiple countries. https://www.frbsf.org/wp-content/uploads/wp2017-25.pdfIn the whole period...real-estate had the highest return with stocks a very close second (about 1 percent behind) and bonds lowest.In the modern era, it was essentially the same but with stocks in first place and real estate a very close second (about 1% behind) and bonds lowest.And even in the modern era there were many decade long periods where real estate did better than stocks.Also, there is no way to know what will happen in the future and it's possible that stocks could perform lower for a longer period( or real estate).So, to me it's a no-brainer that I want the diversification of having *both* in my portfolio (and would never limit myself to just one of the other).

Hi, Bigger Pockets communityNice to meet you! My name is Jieun. I've been working as a marketer/ social media manager for four years.I'm new to real estate investment but have been educating myself with Bigger Pockets...

Recommendations on content to watch/read to learn the essentials as a beginner?

I've been reading BiggerPockets content since last August and was looking for a good way to invest in my financial future.

This part of the content highlights the benefits of green buildings, energy efficiency, and how these practices contribute to property appeal and valuation in the long term.Preparing for Market Fluctuations: We conclude with a look at preparing for future market fluctuations.

But I guess I'm not sure what content to go for that will explain to me what I need to know before making any investment, the different types of investments, how hiring people works, If I should go work for someone who is already an investor, and if I do I'm not even sure what they would even need or if investors even hire anyone who's new.

So there really isn't variability in list content, only price.And as for using the USPS for Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM), it is certainly cheap, and we can provide those services.
