According to a report in the Austin American-Statesman, this may not be as safe as some people think. The perception by many is that tangible assets are safer than stocks, and a house can be rented out for income. There is an economic term for a situation where a lot of things can go wrong: idiosyncratic risk. Real estate presents a lot of idiosyncratic risk. Home values can go up and down significantly, repairs may be needed unpredictably, rental properties may go unrented for long periods, or tenants may be a problem.
