Hi friends, I am thinking of investing my money in some mutual funds and was really confused about that. My cousins have been stressing on investing in real estate properties and they say that it is more beneficial than investing in any mutual funds. But when I have a look at some of the instances on properties I find that a bit risky. I need you people to justify on that so I can make my decisions from your suggestions.

it depends on you where you want to invest your money. it would be good to have it in something that you are interested in than to just choose something random.

Yeah, I agree.

Yes, i agree with you. Now a days real estate investment is the best option then any other kind of investment. I would like to tell you that when my friend had invested in real estate he was also not sure of the profits there but he recently had his real estate deals from IRA-401K
and he was quite pleased with his investing. There are many things that you can look up in investing in real estate and I think that it will be profitable for you too.

I think considering the present market situation, It would be a good idea to invest in real estate because the entire stock market is dull and property market is remaining stable though the tax cut has done some damage to the industry.

Thank you for sharing useful information.I think you should wait until you are able to be more aware of what is happening in that state you want to invest in. It's kind of like being blind to what's going on if you can't be there for a while. I think you should wait. The market will always have a favorable time again to buy if it changes.

I prefer real estate just for fun I do not know much about mutual funds . I advise you to invest in the property market as the place is booming today, and you can get a good return on investment there. I also invested there and very happy with it.

To decide how much risk it is willing to take. Fortunately, below, the standard deviation arises in the real estate investment funds, and thus lower volatility than other sectors.

I prefer real estate, because there are several ways that property can be used for legitimate tax avoidance - though this should not be your reason, above all, for the purchase of the property, plus an additional benefit. To purchase a property by paying a percentage of its value. No other form of investment offers a high degree of leverage. It is not unusual for investors to buy a house by obtaining a 100 percent financing - that "no money" real estate investment.

I think according to current market situation would be a good idea to invest in real estate, because the whole stock market is boring and the housing market remains stable, although tax cuts have done any harm to the industry.
