I will keep this short but wanted everyone's thoughts....

Rental properties require %25 down and a good cash on cash return is %10

Businesses require %25 down and a good cash on cash return would be %100 after 5-6 years


When I was younger I wanted a Real Estate empire...Now I just want to own more businesses



what are your thoughts?

You talking about buying shares in real estate and businesses, or actually buying real estate and businesses and playing landlord/boss yourself?

Put all your money into dogecoin.

haha burned

I'm not opposed to buying shares but the return sucks.

Buy the real estate or the businesses.

We are told our whole lives that stocks and real estate is the way to go. Isn't buying a business better?

good one. is that where you put your money?

Making profit on buying a business requires more time than real estate and stocks …. Plus if someone is selling a business it’s probably not doing to well or will be high dollar … maybe starting business making it run good then selling it could be profitable

Depends could do both also. Both have ups and downs, this is just the most lazy and unthoughtfull question. Which I can now say buy some shares in some property venture and go afk as it reflects your effort

thank you for your input. I met with a banker who does loans on businesses last week and he said they will only approve loans that are 2.5x to 3x profit. So you can't overpay. The bank will not let you. So selling a business doesn't sit well with me. I would rather hire someone to run the business.



Just bought a business, opened a business and bought a commercial real estate property. Now I'm listing my rentals.

Was supposed to be a nice post to help the people of d2j learn how rich people get rich and why buying a good business is the way to go.

I think the reason most people don't buy businesses is because they don't understand the number's behind it. It defiantly isn't pushed by financial advisor's but that's understandable because they want you to buy their products.

So you make a thread asking people if you should buy real estate or business instead you say haha I did both and here to teach you instead....
