Is real estate a better option than a 401k?

I’ve been focusing on real estate for my future—buying properties and growing my rental income. But I’ve learned it’s all about maintenance and screening tenants properly. One bad tenant can set you back months. Having a list of reliable contractors on hand is a lifesaver! That said, I also make sure to add something to my 401k or IRA, even though I’m not putting all my eggs in that basket. The worst-case scenario is something to consider, but in the best case, those accounts can really boost your retirement. I’ve even used my Roth IRA to help with down payments on properties before. Anyone else balancing real estate and retirement accounts? #realestateinvesting #retirementplanning #propertywealth
