is real estate really better than stocks and mutual funds? joon 12-29-2005
Hi i am a self-employeed healthcare provider in the late 20s that has
about 60k to invest. i 'm interested in getting into real estate but
do not really have the time to do reasearch since i have a full time
job that brings in 150k/year net income(hence hard to give it up to do
real estate full time) i talked to some friends tha are builders for
commercial properties and they said the yearly return is about 8%.
that is lower than index fund's yearly return...any suggestion on how
i should get my feet wet? TIA
joon
