Also, if you invest in some startup there is very low chance of getting money back.And then there's this: Where else can I invest my money and have the same NOI (net operating income)? Interest rates are so low that it's almost impossible to make money work to create cash flow. Yes, I could open another business. But, that's a young girl's game -- been there, done that. I know my assets. I know my tenants. I'm in control of my income. Yes, at times it's inconvenient, but being broke would sure be worse.
If you buy property and its not bringing money at least you can take hit of say 20% and sell it to someone below market price.
Some might argue that stock market is always going up, in enough long perspective (like 30 years) and it's good investment.
But i remember one person saying that, yes its true that index funds go up on average, but only when you have balls to not sell them at market crash (the dip) and even if you won't sell you'll still have to wait another 5 or so years to break-even.
