There are may benefits of owning stocks over real estate. We’ve already discussed why I prefer real estate over stocks for most people. Now it’s time to argue the other way.
I’ve been an investor in both stocks and real estate since the 1990s. Both asset classes are core asset classes to own for most people. Roughly 30% of my net worth is in stocks and 50% of my net worth is in real estate.
Out of my estimated $380,000 in annual passive investment income, roughly $75,000 of the income comes from stock dividends.
