As others said, not all stocks pay dividends.
but there are lists of stocks that do pay dividends so an investor can choose from stocks on that list. Apparently there's over 1000 of them.
Not all property goes up in value as well. And if you are a bitcoin holder, this is what we call paper losses only.
real estate investors don't necessarily care about what the value of their property is as long as it is "cash flowing".
another thing i notice is with real estate you can sell your property and buy another one and not have to pay any capital gains taxes if you do what is called a "1031 exchange".
A 1031 exchange is a tax break. You can sell a property held for business or investment purposes and swap it for a new one that you purchase for the same purpose, allowing you to defer capital gains tax on the sale.https://www.investopedia.com/financial-edge/0110/10-things-to-know-about-1031-exchanges.aspxtry doing that with bitcoin. it will be impossible. so bitcoin is automatically at a disadvantage taxwise as an investment. compared with real estate.
with real estate you can use leverage but you can't do that with bitcoin. you have to put 100% down to control it.
