Points

“It’s difficult to earn consistent revenue in the stock and bond market.  Yields to Maturity on bonds are at historically low rates.  Real estate, with proper underwriting, can produce superior, relative cash yields.”

“Owning real estate does not mean you are buying yourself a full time job.  You can be as involved as you want.  There are plenty of firms and services available to investors that can help investors manage their investments.”
