Please feel free to ask any other questions

People ran a mile from investing a couple of thousand in the stock markets, but then are stupid enough to throw hundreds of thousands into property.

Stock values go up and down.

Property values go up and down.

Look at the news, read the front of the site - property investment, as with all investments, carries risk.
