Real Estate Investment
Real estate value generally constitute over one third of the investible capital markets for a developed nation. It is as large a class of investment as equities or bonds. As an investment class, it is generally seen as less risky than securities, but more risky than bonds - over the long term.
The one major drawback of investing in real estate for small investors is that most do not understand how to find a deal or the fundamentals of investment analysis.
