Don shares have a better return on investment than property?
Ok, yes and no. Shares appear to have a better return in percentages but you can’t use leverage (a loan) on shares for the average investor, i.e. say you have a spare $100,000 (lucky you) and you buy shares with this $100,000. Then your friend has the same amount of money and uses it as a deposit to buy a property up to say $500,000 and the tenant pays rent which makes the difference on the loan. If the market has an increase of 10% in both arenas, your shares will increase only by $10,000 (hey ten grand is still ten grand) but the property has increased by a massive $50,000. Even if the shares have a growth of 20% ($20,000) it won’t ever keep up with property.
