On Super friend's dad

His father bought property at River Valley at $550K during 2005 and sold at $800K at 2008.

Annualized ROC = 15%

So 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 really not too bad either. Another advantage is active capital recycling for compounding effect, which is not possible for property investing unless you are flipper.

For emotional control, think like a property investor so you too will never see any unrealized losses throughout your holding period.
