    The Differences in Startup Investments vs. Real Estate

    The Differences in Startup Investments vs. Real Estate

    There are two different types of investments that you can make, but it can be tough to decide which one is right for you. Startup investments are typically characterized by high risk and low return, and they don't have any assets or cash flow to speak of. On the other, Real estate investments are based on properties that have already been built and are generating income from rents or sales proceeds (or both). You can make money from both types of investments.
    This episode explores the differences between startup investments and real estate, and we'll help you understand the pros and cons of each to decide which option is best for you.
