[King Belieal]

Real estate and gold are some of the most popular assets that people hold now. When it comes to ease of liquidity, which do you think would be easier to sell off between a real estate property and gold holdings. Have you ever sold any? How long did it take you to find a buyer?

Although both are popular investment instruments and favored by conservatives, gold is easier to liquidate. You if you need money and sell gold no more than 24 hours the gold has turned into cash, but if you sell property there is no guarantee that your property can be sold in a month.

There is a place in my city that you can sell one billion worth of gold within minutes and get paid instantly. Not same for real estate.

I think gold should be quicker. There is someone close to us who wants to sell his land, the whole process is taking long cause he has seen a buyer but they need a lawyer to make the deed, survey the land and so on. But these days there are platforms where you can easily deal with gold.

Selling of land is not always a straight forward process. Some buyers would want to go and investigate to know the real owner of the land.

It is easy to sell gold. My mom sold her gold one time to attend to a medical emergency and it was completed in an hour.

Gold is easier to liquidate for sure. If you need money, you can just sell your gold coins or bars. For real estate, the buy and sell process takes time. You have to find the right buyer and negotiate the price.

I think gold is preferable; but for long-term wealth creation and income generation, real estate may be better.

Gold is definitely easier to liquidate you can sell it almost instantly compared to real estate, which can take weeks or months depending on the market. I’ve sold property before, and finding the right buyer took a while.

You can sell gold within a few hours or days at the very extreme. It takes months to typically sell a real estate property.

There are street corners that you can sell gold informally at the normal market price. That is not applicable to real estate.
