If you had 100k would you invest in the stock market or property?
I'm thinking property is a better investment since you will leveraged, if you have 100k you could buy a 350k apartment taking into account stamp duty etc. Fees are much higher than buying shares, but a 5% rise on your apartment if it is leveraged is very sizeable. You can also rent it out and pay large fees for it to be managed but someone is still paying a chunk of the mortgage.
Shares though can get 4% dividends with little to no overheads if you do it by yourself.
What do you guys think? I keep on seeing that London prices will keep going up even if there are some bumps or crashes along the way!
