Real estate is mostly a very good investment. Although there are some downsides to it. What if you have property in a country that has a very unstable Government.
If the country is taken over by dictators you can very well lose your property. All this aside. The REAL ICO is imho a very solid and good investment.
Gold might be the best non volatile investment for long term but imho real estate comes second.
capital appreciation plus yield ... better than gold sometimes. except for in bear markets
