How Real Estate Compares to Other Investment Options

November 22, 2021 By Cade Hildreth Leave a Comment

Wealth isn’t created by a job: Jobs only create income. In contrast, financial freedom is always created through investments. This is because investments can work 24-7 for you, doubling in value over and over during your lifetime.

For example, investing is how you double $100K into $200K, $200K into $400K, $400K into $800K, and $800 to $1.6M. That rapid wealth growth from $100K to 1.6 million only requires four doublings, which if you get a 20% rate of return, you can do in only 14 years.

With real estate, achieving a 20% rate of return is extremely doable, but obviously, that kind of rapid wealth creation would be very tough to do with a job.

Put simply: Wealth has a compounding effect, while income from a job is linear.

This is why you need to learn to invest.

Real Estate vs. Other Investment Options

With that in mind, what should you invest in? To make this decision, you need to compare real estate against your other investment options, so let’s do that below.

Stocks

The problem with stocks is that equity market valuations are now at the highest level they have ever been. According to economists, they would have to fall by nearly half (~45%) just to drop to the highs of the 2000 to 2002 “Dot Com” bubble. John Hussman, a renowned economist, recently stated, “The [stock] market is in the biggest speculative price bubble in modern history.”

This means it is extremely risky to be in stocks right now, because a market correction to historical norms could destroy your wealth.

Bonds

The problem with bonds is that they barely pay anything, which makes it extremely hard to outpace inflation. 10 year treasury bonds only pay a couple percent. The problem with this is that Consumer Price Index (CPI) data recently came out and year-over-year inflation is 6.2%, so you need to make at least 6% per year just to beat inflation.

Plus, if we use the CPI methods from the 1970s (before they started playing games and pulling out relevant items from the inflation index), we are at an astounding 14% rate of inflation!

Cryptocurrencies

Cryptocurrencies have enormous potential but are a hugely volatile asset class, so they can easily drop 80-90% in value on you in a short period of time. While I strongly believe in their long-term potential, you better be prepared for a wild ride if you want to  invest in cryptocurrencies.

Also, crypto doesn’t pay cash flow unless you stake it, and if you do, then you’re not technically in control of it anymore. As the old saying goes, “Not your keys, not your crypto.” Meaning, staking comes with risks.

Real Estate

In contrast, real estate is the asset class that has most reliably created wealth across all time periods, cultures, and geographies. It is a real, physical asset that can’t be disrupted by technology. Humans will always need shelter and land has a fixed supply. Real estate benefits from price appreciation, leverage, massive tax advantages, debt paydown by tenants, and cash flow.

Because of leverage, you can often get returns of 20%, 30%, or higher as an internal rate of return (IRR). Put simply, real blends stability with superior returns, which is why it is the favorite asset class of the wealthy.

With anti-LGBTQ+ and anti-trans legislation on the With anti-LGBTQ+ and anti-trans legislation on the rise, I have enormous RESPECT for people for are taking action to support our communities. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Putting this into action are Dr @EricCervini, an author and historian, and his partner @Adam_Powell. Together they will be driving a bus full of banned #queerbooks across the U.S., starting this summer! 

I absolutely love this idea—and can't wait for them to swing by Virginia! 

From an article shared on XtraMagazine.com:

“With LGBTQ2S+ books under attack in the U.S. at record rates, author Eric Cervini and his boyfriend, actor Adam Powell, knew they wanted to take action. While others are organizing with protests, drag queen story hours, days of reading and other important acts of resistance, Cervini and Powell have their own spin on what to contribute to the movement—and that spin has wheels.

The pair are working on buying, then building, what they call the Rainbow Book Bus, a bookmobile carrying queer and trans books to small towns. 

After reaching their crowdfunding goal of USD $100,000 at the end of December, Cervini and Powell are now able to pay a specialized company to retrofit a school bus to become a beacon of queer literature. 

‘Our goal is to have at least an early version of it ready by Pride [in June],’ Cervini tells Xtra. ‘We want to have a bus that is converted—it may not be fully decked out, but it will be functioning as a travelling book shop/book fair—in the summer of 2023.’”

If you'd like them to visit your town, share it in comments! 🌈🚌

This past summer we took a trip to Madden’s resort in MN to celebrate my parents 50th wedding anniversary with my parents, sister, brother in law, wife, niece and nephew. 

It was actually their 52nd, because we had to postpone it twice due to Covid! 🌊🏖🐟
