re: Stock market vs real estate

I had to make this decision 25 years ago. A wise man told me 'Zach, people are naturally attracted to water. It's where we came from."
So, I bought undeveloped lake front. Best decision I ever made. I would not trust my own judgment on buying real estate unrelated to water.

I've done well with stocks by going blue chips buy and hold with Drips.

My next door neighbor made his fortune buying cheap foreclosed property and renting it. He's a slum lord. I couldn't take the stress.
