Real Estate Investing - Is It Time to Adjust?
I had a question posed to me yesterday, “with all that’s going on in real estate, is it wiser to invest in stocks?”
That’s an interesting question. While I’m still bullish on the Salt Lake real estate market, finding a good investment property from a cash flow perspective is very hard to do. Personally, I have a sizable investment in my primary residence, but I’ve put my surplus capital in stocks.
The main reason I chose stocks is if a real estate deal comes along, I’d like to be liquid enough to access my money quickly. The author of the primary question wonders how many people out there have sold all their real estate investments and reinvested into stocks. I don’t know. I haven’t really seen much mention of that on the housing boards.
Sure people who haven’t owned
are investing in stocks, but what about the real estate investors? If you’ve divested yourself of all your real estate holdings, except your primary residence of course, and shifted to investing in stocks, please post a comment or send me an email on how that is working out for you.
