Lately, I’m seriously reconsidering investing in real estate for a few key reasons.

With S\&P 500 index funds, you can potentially outperform real estate returns, keep your money liquid, and avoid the hassle of property management altogether.

The only real downside is that S\&P 500 dividends typically aren’t as high as rental income — but that was true in the past, and it could shift again.

Can anyone explain why real estate still makes sense as an investment?
