Stock Market Investing vs Real Estate has been a rivalry that hasn't been settled. Let's break it down to see what's the better investment for you. Real estate has its pros and cons. Stocks has its pro and cons. How do the pros and cons affect you? #realestateinvesting #realestate #realestateinvestingforbeginners CAMERA GEAR USED: My camera- My Mic- My Lense- Bookshelf- Back light- Sidelight - Hair light - Arcade game- Investing in real estate Traditional real estate investments can be broken down into two broad categories: residential properties like your home, rental properties or flipping homes to buy, then resell for a profit and commercial properties, such as apartment complexes, office buildings and strip malls. The pros There can be tax advantages to property ownership. Homeowners may qualify for a tax deduction for mortgage interest paid on up to the first $1 million in mortgage debt. There also are tax breaks when you sell a principal residence, such as an exclusion that may allow you to avoid capital gains taxes on net proceeds of $250,000 if youre single (or $500,000 if youre married and filing jointly). If you own and sell commercial property, you may be able to avoid capital gains through a 1031 exchange (if you reinvest proceeds in a similar type of property). And investment properties can earn tax breaks through depreciation, or writing off wear and tear on the property. Learn more about tax breaks related to homeownership in this tax guide. Investing in stocks Buying shares of stock has significant pros and some important cons to remember before you take the plunge. The pros Stocks are highly liquid. While investment cash can be locked up for years in real estate, the purchase or sale of public company shares can be done the moment you decide it's time to act. Unlike real estate, its also easier to know the value of your investment at any time. Its easier to diversify your investment in stocks. Few people have the time let alone the cash to purchase enough real estate properties to cover a broad enough range of locations or industries to have true diversification. With stocks, its possible to build a broad portfolio of companies and industries at a fraction of the time and cost of owning a diverse collection of properties.
