This article is bifurcated in two segments, in first segment special emphasis is been given on, which is better option, equity like shares, mutual funds bonds or real estate. In the second segment, the article talks about which real estate and metals like silver and gold.

Real Estate versus Mutual Funds, Bonds and Stocks

There are lots of similarities and dissimilarities between investing in equity like stocks or mutual funds when compared to real estate. The generic features of both these investment types are comparatively same, both of these investment types have a vast portfolio and multiple investment types.

Both of these investment types needs a certain minimum amount of capital to invest in. The minimum investment amount in equity differs from company to company, as there are some companies present in the market who offer investment of even less than Rs. 500. This variation factor is probably not present in real estate. You cannot buy a property with just thousand and lakhs in hands.

The major dissimilarity lies between theses are in terms of risk. Since equity investment is a risky affair, there do not offer guaranteed results, and the profit or loss are also highly dependent on the performance of the company. This is where real estate scores, it provides a certain amount of guaranteed results. The value of real estate is not dependent on any factor. There is an unparalleled appreciation associated with real estate if someone has time and patience. Investing in equity like share, bonds and mutual funds can be buoyant from time to time.

Real Estate versus Gold, Silver

If you are dealing with small amount of money, then it is advisable to invest in metals rather than investing in real estate. But if you are interested in investing considerable amount of money then you should invest all of them in real estate.

You can invest in metals in two ways: - one is, you can invest in bullions and coins, and another option is investment in the share of mining companies.The latter option can be considered as equity investment as well as an investment in metals. Much like real estate, the price of metals may fluctuate in short durations. But the scenario is entirely different if one looks at the bigger picture, the prices of both metals and real estate rosen up over larger time span.

There are substantial difference also among these two investment option and that is, the amount of capital one invests in both of these entities. Both of these investment options have a different set of investor and affordability factor.

Conclusion

Both metals and equity are useful options only if you are looking at the smaller amount. But if you have a good amount to invest in, then real estate is the only option available to enjoy high returns on investment.
