Invest in Real Estate or Stock

[Eugine]

Real estate is a slightly riskier investment than large cap stocks and thus the returns must be higher to compensate for this risk. Be wary of anyone spouting off that NOW is the right time to buy one or the other. Both the stock market and real estate are priced low right now and both would be excellent purchases as part of a long-term investment strategy. The BEST option would be a balanced portfolio of both stocks and real estate, as well as other financial instruments.
