Do you prefer property or other investments, managed funds shares and why
i've been told that property might give a return of some 4-5%
while some shares eg telstra give a return of 7 %

i've seen property as having advantages because

1 the grow enormously in capital growth in blue chip proven suburbs close to the city

and i didint beleive that you could earn or save such large amounts as are gained through capital growth

2 i see property as low risk , v ery secury ,that people will always need housing in top suburbs

3 they can provide housing for family if needed which other investments cant

4 one can value add to possibly earn alot more which i dont see happening with funds/shares

but i'm a bit of a novice so i'd like to hearf rom others please. if you can enlighton me please.

 

I like both.

My reasons are here

Why Property is Better Than Shares Why Property is Better Than Shares

Why Shares are Better than Property Why Shares are Better Than Property

 

I don't want to get into which is the better shares vs property. Its whatever makes money.
At the end of the day it still comes down to timing the markets if you want to achieve superior results.
