Frequency of check is proportional to frequency of action.
In the above truth lies the difference in investment returns.
Most times, we do not check real estate investments frequently for prices, so we do not have a recurring need to act.
Most times, we get bombarded by stock prices daily and as we check so frequently, we are bound to also act frequently.
In the long run, by all indices, stocks are supposed to outperform real estate, but for most individuals, real estate has held and preserved more value.
More wealth is nurtured in real estate than in stocks, because real estate is not constantly screaming its new price at us. We do not check often, so we do not act often.
Less action, means more time for compounding. Compounding favors real estate.
Apply the same approach you take with real estate to stocks, and you will be on to some super power.
They are both designed to be long term investments.
