What real estate will you be buying with $5,000?

I'm talking about buying a condo, either a.) renting it out. or b.) fixing it up and trying to resell for a quick profit.

So would you try to do something like this with 5k or put it in the stock market?

In this example I would hope to make about $200 profit per month via renting a condo. Plus a property value increase per year of about 4% a year. So you could make a profit at about $3000 per year. (Yes I am not counting any refurbishing/upgrade costs.)

If you invest the 5k in the stock market and get a nice10% return you'd make only $500.

Agree? Disagree?
