What would you say is a better investment? I have the opportunity to either get into a franchise or invest into real estate. There seems to be pros and cons to both, part of me is leaning towards real estate just because it seems like the safer investment in the long run. I wont make as much as I potentially can with the franchise but just like any business there is always that risk of it failing. Just wanted to get peoples perspectives. Which do you think is better? Thank you
What is best fit?
How well do your personal traits align or match up with the characteristics of businesses you are considering?
Leasing commercial real estate is often considered passive income but it does have nuances to deal with.
Most franchises are contact sport. Moreover, you are required to operate according to franchise business model and not how you see fit.
If goal is to create wealth and protect it long term, private investors tend to buy commercial property. Most franchises do not own their premises.
