How does investing in real estate compares to investing in mutual funds?

Monday, February 9th, 2009

Bianca asked:

I have $2,600 of monthly disposable income. I could buy a multifamily every year for a few years with a 10% down or I could put all of it in my 401k at work. What should I do? I don’t mind being a landlord and the work it entails as long as the returns are higher and worth the effort. Also, how much should I expect for a multifamily to appreciate if I keep it for 30 years.
