Is real estate currently the best form of investment?

We are in route to purchase our 2nd office condo (we bought our first one last year). We live in Texas and given the recent surge we expect businesses to be booming in the upcoming decade. So we figured that now is the time to invest in office condos.

Now, our rationale is that the property you purchase is obviously going to appreciate in value, but in addition in about 5 years or so we should be making a profit from our tenants. We gave our first tenant a lower rent because it was COVID and we would rather offset a few hundred dollars rather than lose the thousands with an empty office.

By the end of this week, we will place our downpayment for our 2nd office condo. We don’t really care about immediate returns. Our whole idea is that in 30-40 years, these properties will become assets for the next generation and its better to put our money to work now rather than just keep a lump sum in the bank.

But I worry sometimes that there might be better investment methods that might yield more profits...does my strategy of purchasing office condos make sense or can I get more bang for buck elsewhere?

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...
