I find it's very personal, and dependent a lot on your goals, resources, risk tolerance, location, experience, etc.

While Treasuries are often viewed as "risk-free" investments, certain real estate deals in today’s market offer a compelling alternative—especially when purchased at a deep discount.Take, for example, a 1,000+ unit apartment complex in a suburb near Michigan.

I read about it in several different places. 

I’ve run the numbers on several different MHP development opportunities and I have always found an RV Park would be worth more on the same land for the same cost usually.

Rtp nova project - all principal at risk (failed project)?

Even if they don't fix it you would need to hope a magistrate decides its severe enough to evict.

Absent them, risk is controllable over time.I self manage a SFH in the Bay Area in a very pro-tenant city (some cities are a little less pro-tenant than others).

The PLRs and Risks are discussed below.

Borrowing against securities is a high risk proposition.

I am left to wonder, though some investors with SFR's are doing it successfully, is the risk too high for the reward?
