[quote=Anonymous]Second to the low-cost index funds. Most small investors don't get anywhere managing their own money because, as PP says, they can't buy instruments to offset the risk. Also, managing your own money eats up a lot of your money in the form of fees and commissions. The problem with real estate is that it's not very diverse, especially if you make just one big investment, or if you make a bunch of smaller investments in the same region (your investments are all subject to the same economic forces). Also, it can take a while to liquidate real estate, which is bad if you need the money in an emergency. If you're willing to ride out a slow real estate market for the next 10 years (who knows, but that's a worst case scenario), then you could consider it.[/quote]
