The user seeks to maximize returns without taking excessive risk.
Has anyone done a serious DEEP financial analysis on if you had a little bit of money is it better to put it in the stock market S&P 500 or to buy real estate? I'm talking about what strategy would give you more of a larger return which I know real estate various pre market. I started writing out a pretty deep analysis and it actually can be pretty even %age return on money but real estate could make more long-term of course depending on market and market trends. Essentially, I have 80 grand to do something with and I'm debating putting it in as a down payment to buy an investment property as a long term rental that would cash flow, appreciate and of course have equity paid into as rental, or if I should just put it in the S&P 500. The goal is to make the MAX amount of money without doing anything crazy to loose it.
