Real Estate Investing vs 401K (et al)
I realize a lot of investors start off by using monies from their retirement portfolios, whether its a 401k, IRA etc. Seems like everyone agrees that they enjoy a better rate of return in real estate than these conventional methods. Would you recommend pulling out ALL of your monies and investing in the various forms of real estate since they earn a higher ROI ? If you dont deplete your retirement accounts, what percentage of your portfolio is real estate investments (in all forms), retirement accounts and/or other vehicles?
