For most people, choosing whether to invest in stocks or real estate is a difficult decision. While keeping a diversified portfolio is typically the best course of action, there are some pros and cons of investing in stocks vs. real estate. In this article, we are going to discuss some of the pros and cons of investing in stocks vs. real estate.

Pros vs. Cons

There are upsides and downsides to investing in real estate and stocks. With real estate, you generally have more control and reliable returns, but there is a higher barrier to entry. Stocks have a much lower entry level, but can be much riskier.

Capital Gains Taxes

Another big factor to consider is capital gains taxes. With stocks, you have to pay capital gains taxes each time you sell a particular stock. That’s true even if you intend to reinvest that money into another stock right away. These costs can add up significantly over time.
