Stick to real estate or buy stocks on sale?
Just wanted to get some opinions from the pros..
I've been watching the stock market(probably my first mistake..lol) and every time it drops I get more of an urge to click that buy button. Since the real estate market doesn't necessarily follow the stock market exactly, there's no guarantee that real estate prices will drop the way the stock market has now. So I'd like to take advantage of this FIRE sale.
That being said, should I dump the money I've been putting away for a rental property, into the stock market? Unfortunately, I dont have enough dry powder to do both to any meaningful degree. It seems like too good of a deal to pass up, but my fear is that if the real estate market tanks, I'd already deployed all of my cash into the market.
Any thoughts?
