@Mario Morales, to echo Bradley, I would say this depends on what you are lacking in your own knowledge base.To some (probably many investors) the agent is simply an initial filter for them.  

Look for shops that test and offer guarantees.For valued tenants or premium units: New appliances might be worth the investment for their reliability and long-term durability.Ultimately, your decision depends on your goals.

Comparing real estate to the stock market really depends on your needs.

We are definitely dependent on that population and job growth to eventually gain some profit spread.

Selling your stocks also has tax implications and margin is only 50% as you mentioned, that too depending on your stock profile.

Depends on your goals and the current market.
