I've been learning and investing in stock market since 2015, now I'm turning 22 this year, considering to expand my portfolio to include investment in property.
In average housing market in my country have CAGR of 4~5% in last 35 years, at first I thought index fund like VOO are a much better option at that level of return, but that's not true because even with my Interactive Broker account I couldn't leverage as much as I can on property market. Since I'm not sure about the other places, but in my country I could own a house with 10~20% (depends on how many house I've owned) down payment, and pay an interest rate that's below the inflation rate! (I could also cover that monthly payment up to 50~80% with rental income).
Did I missed something here? If not doesn't that makes housing/property a much more higher return investment option? (When I started to learn about investing I always though housing investment doesn't yield as much as stock market, plus it requires more cash and less liquidity.)
