You’re right. Could do better holding long term SP500. But with RE, you make those 3.5% on mostly borrowed money - so, with 20% down, your return is 5 times higher. Of course, borrowing costs something, but the return is still good. On top, you have the use of the property, which is worth a lot. Or income.

Of course, it’s a good deal for as long as prices keep going up, which isn’t always, but most of the time.
