@Sameet KoppikarWith funds in an IRA, you simply want to evaluate the risk/reward of any particular asset as compared to other assets.Notes are relatively low risk, require little interaction on your part, and produce consistent income.Real estate is more work, and has increased risk such as tenant & contractor interactions.What real estate offers that notes do not are the ability to use leverage such as a mortgage and the potential for appreciation in addition to cash flow.There is no one answer as to which asset class is superior.
