BiggerPockets Real Estate Podcast - Real Estate vs. Stocks: Which Makes MORE In a RECESSION?

Real estate vs. stocks. Cash flow vs. consistent dividends. Equity vs. price-to-earnings. If you’re reading this right now, chances are that you’re more of a real estate investor than a stock picker. But maybe you’re on the wrong side. Does the passivity of stock investing beat buying properties? Or do things like depreciation, tax write-offs, and the ability to use leverage while having tangible assets take the cake when it comes to the stock vs. real estate debate? And what about investing in 2023 as the economy continues to falter? We brought on return guest, stock investing expert, and host of "We Study Billionaires," Trey Lockerbie, to put him head-to-head against some of the most famous names in real estate podcasting. Rob Abasolo emcees this battle of investment strategies as Dave Meyer and Henry Washington bring in the housing heat. And while no physical jabs are thrown, Trey and our real estate investing experts put these two popular asset classes head-to-head to see which is a better bet for today’s investors. And if you’re trying to scoop up deals at a discount, we touch on whether stocks or real estate are better bets during a recession, which comes out on top, and the risks you MUST know about before investing in either asset class. So, if you’ve got some cash burning a hole in your pocket and don’t know what to do with it, we may have the exact answers you need! ~~~~ Join BiggerPockets for FREE 👇 https://www.biggerpockets.com/signup?utm_source=owned_media ~~~~ Expand Your Investing Knowledge With the BiggerPockets Books: https://store.biggerpockets.com/?utm_source=owned_media ~~~~ Find an Investor-Friendly Agent in Your Area: http://biggerpockets.com/agentmatch ~~~~ Hear Dave and Henry On the “On the Market” Podcast: BiggerPockets: https://www.biggerpockets.com/podcasts/on-the-market?utm_source=owned_media Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/on-the-market/id1615086704 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2NlzZ9NtHtZ2uBuaDNoGzY ~~~~ Real Estate Vs.
