Here is a chart of total returns for housing vs stocks for the past decade.

I've had people tell me I "should have" invested in local real estate since all over the state is has roughly doubled in the past decade. I counter my far more diversified REIT investment (that is also recommended in my newsletter for the past two decades for my core portfolios) has done far better without the "dead beat risk" of having a COVID tenant in your one rental that don't pay rent with a government that still wants its property tax.

Stocks have done EVEN BETTER as this total return chart shows.

I'll email you a 3-page PDF table of total return vs asset class I recommend and/or track for index funds in my core portfolios back to January 1, 1999... you can see REITs blow ALL the others away over that period with an 848% total return vs 449% for the S&P 500.

My REIT fund was up 27.35% for 2021 on the date I made the table... Perhaps it will peak out and regress to the mean, but unlike gold or stocks, owners of real estate can actually enjoy their properties AND many make nice incomes. Friends with vacation homes in Maui can rent them out 50 weeks a year at a great price (especially now where people avoid hotels) then use them for 2 weeks and get complete business write offs.
