529 plan or rental properties
I was wondering if I could get some advice from people who know something about finance and investments.
I think most people on BP know that if done properly investing in real estate brings better returns then the stock market. So, I was wondering if it would be better to buy 3 or 4 rental properties (average price say $75,000) and hold those for 16 or 17 years and then sell some or all of them to pay for college or just put money away every year into a 529 plan.
Anyone have thoughts on this?
Thanks.
