Real Estate Beats the S&P 500 (By a Lot)

Welcome back to Radical Wealth Plan, hosted by Paul Mark Morris and brought to you by Entrepreneur Media. Today I’m joined once again by Merse Kollo — a top developer agent who helps investors find deals that crush the average returns you’ll ever see on Wall Street. We break down the real numbers behind real estate versus the S&P 500, why 91% of stock investors underperform, and how developers routinely get 70% or higher cash-on-cash returns. From leverage and control to tax advantages and 1031 exchanges, this episode is a full breakdown of why real estate doesn’t just build wealth — it beats the market by a mile. *Merse Kollo* Website: https://www.westcovedev.com/my-team/merse-kollo Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/merse_kollo *Connect with Paul* Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulmarkmorris/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@itspaulmarkmorris YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@radicalwealthplan Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/paulmarkmorris *Presented by Entrepreneur Media & Money News Network* Entrepreneur Media: https://www.entrepreneur.com/podcasts Money News Network: https://www.moneynewsnetwork.com Timestamps:00:00:00 Intro: Merse Kollo 00:00:37 Rent vs. Own: A Financial Debate 00:01:44 Comparing Returns: S&P 500 vs. Real Estate 00:02:52 Developer Insights: Cash on Cash Returns 00:06:42 Active vs. Passive Investing 00:13:53 Real Estate Market Stability 00:18:51 Control and Tax Advantages in Real Estate 00:23:05 Reinvesting Proceeds: Real Estate vs. Stock Market 00:24:26 Investor's Critique and Personal Reflection 00:25:50 The Power of 1031 Exchanges 00:27:41 Infinite Returns and Syndications 00:28:35 Dividends in Real Estate vs. Stocks 00:29:56 Tax Implications of Dividends 00:32:30 Analyzing a Real Estate Deal 00:37:52 Leveraging for Maximum Returns Learn more about your ad choices.
