Nasdaq 100 ytd return: +12.8%
S&P 500 ytd return: +11.7%

Let’s stop the panicing & zoom out

It definitely depends on the market- LV, Austin, the sunbelt region as a whole, I agree. NE, parts of the west coast/ midwest I think have a good chance at outperforming inflation. A diversified real estate portfolio actually several regions/states is still a solid inflation hedge in my opinion

@TheREDevGUY This obviously is very circumstantial but for me- I’d want to split between B&C

If I can’t split I’d probably choose B at this point with already having rentals

S&P 500 top 10 holdings 1990 vs 2026

What do you notice?

[Dividends & Doors @Dividends_Doors]

@TherealMFlem According to this, yes. In reality, no

The 6 levels of wealth (net worth):

Level 1: > $10k
Level 2: $10k - $100k
Level 3: $100k - $1M
Level 4: $1M - S10M
Level 5: $10M - $100M
Level 6: $100M +

Where are you at and where are you going?

[Dividends & Doors @Dividends_Doors]

@TherealMFlem That would still be level 6

[Dividends & Doors @Dividends_Doors]

@forefathers92 Is the rental paid off?

[Dividends & Doors @Dividends_Doors]

I’d rather have $2M in paid off rental properties than $2M in dividend stocks

The cash yeild on the rentals alone puts it above dividend stocks & then add on top all the other RE benefits

7 financial goals to hit before 30:

1. Reach 100k total invested
2. Invest >15% of pretax income
3. Max out Roth IRA each year
4. Have a clear asset allocation plan
5. Eliminate all high-interest debt
6. Establish a second income stream
7. Build a 3-month emergency fund

@BarbellFi You can do more than half of these on your own and save a bunch of money.

It’s not a huge time commitment either

$1,327 invested per month age 25-55 is $3,000,000 (10% ARR)

The math is on your side 📈

Will 30 year mortgages hit 8% in 2026?

[Dividends & Doors @Dividends_Doors]

@MFT_Get_Funded Probably a paid off rental depending on the cash flow. Not a paid off primary though.

[Dividends & Doors @Dividends_Doors]

my guess is somewhere between 20-30%
