Should one oppose Real Estate to Financial Investments?
No. They are two different classes of investments that complement each other. Real Estate (as an investment opposed to the place where you live)
is a long-term investment that brings regular income and capital gains, with low liquidity. Financial Investments seldom offer income, except for
Fixed Income, but they usually have a much shorter maturity, higher liquidity and higher prospects of returns and capital gains. Both classes can
make you lose or make money, and you should keep in mind that properties require maintenance. Both classes gains' can cause taxation,
according to your personal residential and legal status.
