Shares vs Property

[MTR]

I work here so I can get finance if I wanted to. This was looking to be about 15% net return and phenomenal capital gains. It was a receivership situation. The agent is not able to tell me the highest bidder??

The returns are much better than the US and I liken it to the Atlanta situation maybe in 2012. The real gems are getting harder to find but still out there. I also think Dublin is still much higher risk than the Atlanta market. These are multi unit blocks in the non salubrious parts of north inner Dublin. Income taxes are also relatively high in Ireland - so that's something else you need to take into account if you are not borrowing a whole lot.

Thanks for sharing this info, and I thought Atlanta was high risk at the time.
I think I fluked the US market with those 20% gross yields, they have long gone, now its a CG play.

Getting back to shares, and reading the many posts, it makes sense to have a portfolio of property and shares, best of both worlds
