[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I sold my investment properties and invested the proceeds in stocks and bonds and am doing much better with none of the headaches involved with being a landlord. Sooo much easier. [/quote] Yes but stock values fluctuate all the time, whereas real estate is much more stable and since you are paying down a mortgage each month, there is less of a risk of losing everything. [/quote] That’s not necessarily true. Repairs, maintenance, accidents, natural disasters, nightmare tenants, and lack of tenants are all scenarios that could cause a real estate investor to lose everything. If the house is mortgaged and you can’t keep up the payments for whatever reason (lose job, no tenant, poor health, tenant stops paying), you will lose the house. That’s not the case with stocks and mutual funds.[/quote]
