I met a man about 25 yrs ago that was worth about half a billion dollars . He had no real stock portfolio but owned every kind of property there is. Beach houses, river houses, raw land, rentals , you name it. I was in my early twenties and just trying to learn . I remember him saying he and his family have fun with all his investments, you can't go visit stocks he said. Definitely not knocking the stock market at all, I just really like real estate. I'm just starting to look for more land now bc it's showing signs of slowing down and staying on the market longer, some have even lowered prices.
