Investing In Real Estate or An S&P 500 I...

Shari Rash, Money Podcast for Women, Personal Finance, Relationships & Mental Health
About this episode

Welcome to a high-energy, no-holds-barred showdown between two of the most popular wealth-building strategies: real estate and investing in an S&P 500 index fund. Ever wondered if your money is better off in bricks and mortar or riding the stock market wave? In this episode, I break down the pros, cons, and real-life examples of each approach to help you decide which path is best for you.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Real Estate 101: The highs (cash flow, appreciation, leverage) and lows (tenants, maintenance, and late-night repair calls).
  • S&P 500 Basics: Why this “set it and forget it” strategy is loved by millions, how dividends can supercharge growth, and the power of compounding over time.
  • Real-Life Case Studies: Meet Sarah, who turned her rental property headaches into a real estate portfolio, and Jason, who chose the S&P 500 and let compounding take the reins.
  • Who Wins the Wealth Showdown? How to decide which investment fits your lifestyle, risk tolerance, and financial goals.


Whether you’re a hands-on investor with dreams of owning properties or a laid-back stock market enthusiast who wants to let time work its magic, this episode has something for everyone.
