The father of my colleagues invested heavily in real estate. Immediately after he retired from his job, he invested his entire retirement benefits in real estate. And he kept expanding the business by building more houses. My co-worker usually tells me that real estate is the best investment because of less risk. It is common for him to say that he or his father will never invest in Bitcoin because it has high risk.
There was a flood in a section of my country that destroyed lives and properties. His father lost about seven blocks of flats which is all he has in life. The houses were not issued, so he is totally broke.
Lessons
- Diversify your assets. Don't invest all you have in a single asset.
- If you are investing in real estate, let your properties be in different locations. My friend's father lost all his property because they were in the same place.
- insure your assets and businesses. Insurance can help reduce the effect of a loss.
A sad story. It was necessary to take into account the terrain and possibly insure the property against floods. But in general, you are talking about absolutely the right things. I believe that the deposit should not be only in cryptocurrency or bonds, or invested in real estate. You need a little bit of everything, as in the saying that you can't put all your eggs in one basket. Yes, it's trite, but all this is true. I prefer investing in Bitcoin, and only in this + real estate. But so far I do not have money for the last asset I named...
