Thinking of investing in stocks this fall? You may want to consider Real Estate instead. A few reasons why:

-Rental income can cover most, if not all, carrying costs.
-Strong, and consistent, appreciation in/around Boston.
-Tax write offs (mortgage interest, depreciation, operating expenses; etc).
-You will own a physical asset vs a paper one.
-As goes real estate, so goes the economy. It will always be a priority to fix if things go south.
