Can Active Stock Investing as good as Property Investing?
My view:
Could anyone tell me what is nett ROC over 5-8 years time frame for property investment? Most of the property investors are just giving Gross Profit and not Nett Profit after deducting expenses, repair and maintenance costs.
I am suspecting that it required too much effort to diligently track the nett profit of any property investment and most of them will probably tell us that they bought at $X and sold $Y, and the Gross Profit ($Y-$X).
Sample of what active stock investing can give:
What I am lacking is nett ROC on property? Anyone has? Pls help to share.
I think the biggest advantage of Property Investing over Active Stock Investing is your size of capital. It is extremely emotional to invest huge sum of capital in the stock market, and so much relaxing to invest in the Property market. As property investors will never see any unrealized losses throughout their holding period.
For much smaller capital, ROC on value stocks is not too bad either. Another advantage is active capital recycling for compounding effect, which is not possible for property investing unless you are flipper.
If you do not know what you are doing, no asset can make you wealthy. Assets do not necessary make you wealthy. Assets through leveraging can actually make you poorer if you cannot make it through.
Ultimately, what makes you wealthy is your financial intelligence. Your greatest asset is your brain -- so take care of it and protect it from "not for you" influences.

Wow, the nett cost of holding property for investment is pretty high if what this guy said is true. Then the nett ROC for property is really overstated. Can anyone share what is the typical all-in-expenses for 2 room condo?
