Traditional paths to these goals are the culmination of your day job, your stock portfolio and your real estate investments. Your day job pays the bills, puts a roof over your head and provides a little extra to invest. For investments, however, it’s tough to choose between a stock portfolio or a real estate portfolio. There are pros and cons for each. Stocks can be purchased and liquidated quickly, while real estate can take months to purchase and sell. Stocks require little maintenance, while real estate requires much. Getting started in real estate requires more capital. However, with real estate, there are no margin calls, and you can cover debt with rental income. Both the real estate market and the stock market are subject to world economic influences. With the uncertainty of today’s economic forecast — slowing economy, inflation, rising interest rates, ebbing real estate market and a sharply declining stock market — it’s a good time to reconsider your strategy. Most people limit themselves to their primary residence. This area is part of a desirable destination city for visitors and relocators. It has provided above-average returns for real estate investors despite cyclic downturns. Everyone considering a long-term investment strategy should hold at least two real estate investments — their primary residence and a rental property. Wealth Building Real Estate or Stock Market?
