I disagree with this comment. Real estate can provide solid 5-7% after tax returns (in parts of the US) and due to leverage and low mortgage rates, a small annual increase in price can greatly increase the value of your investment. Most people only think of real estate as local, so if you look for returns in nyc or SF, you’ll be disappointed. But if you are willing to invest in property across the US you can find areas with much lower prices and higher rents.
