Hi Amit:

"If we meet some day, I will share with you a fantastic tool that compares both type of investments. This software takes into account various costs associated with investment properties and comes up with numbers that facilitate decision making. "

If kyoon, when bolo. My off is just off Kennedy and Matheson. Where are you? Lemme know and we can set up a time to meet.
Would love to see the software and send back feedback.
I use a lot of software in my practice and send feedback(as do many other advisors) and the software producers gather the feedback and come out with a new improved version and then hits us advisors for another $300 for the improved version and we like suckers buy it, then send in more feedback, they take out a better version, and again we buy it and make them richer.
We should be bloody charging for our feedback, yaar. making cos richer aur saale log ko free mein feedback milta hai.
Sometimes I think we, the feedback wallahs, are exploited and made asses out of.

"We both will agree that diversification is the key. That's why you also own investment property/ ies (none of my business). "

above quote analysis.
Which is why having leveraged property, where I put money down to make money, and having leveraged investment loans where I have not put any money down, I feel that a 100% no margin loan is better as the return is infinite.
I also have an investment loan where I pay the interest from my pocket on which in absolute dollar terms I have made more money than in my investment loan where the dividend pays both principal and interest, but as percentages go, there is better return on investment on the latter.

Anyways, do whatever suits you. I also trade currencies and there also the absolute return is better in %age terms than a no margin P+I loan where the dividends pay the P+I.
But that is comparing trading to investment, so jaane do.

In the end, one can compare real estate vs. other type of investments (like funds etc.)

If it is the case, how do you think folks who rent out multiplexes of 15-20 units handle. There is definitely a headway else why the rich folks invest 3-4 Mills an such huge apartments.
