Pretty easy for me ... call a realtor or two, once or twice a year to get comps.
RE up ~10% YTD.
Stocks down ~2% YTD.

As much as I buy the indexing funds argument, I can't bring myself to do it.
I have about 15 stocks in my Ameritrade account that I get dividends from.
Have most of my Vanguard 401k money in the "fixed fund", pays about 4%.
Also have some Dodge & Cox Stock and Balanced funds - I believe D&C are terrific funds, low cost too. Also, have some money in CD's.

A man after my own heart. Where are you investing in RE at?

The only one of those definitions I even remotely recognize, and it's TA. I didn't think this was THAT kind of site, now!

Hmmm- ballpark - his and hers(da SO):
75% Vanguard Lifestrategy mod and cons(since they became availible in the 90's).
10% REIT Index(circa 1998)
5% misc putz junk - Hi yield bonds, Int bonds, Small cap value index.
10% Individual DRIP stocks(started about 1989)
Classic Bogle - 'core and explore.'
12 th year of ER - looking for that elusive combo of defense and offense.
BTY - current div/interest of the above plus early SS, two small pensions - is more than enough per FireCalc.
We sold and consumed the duplex in the first ten years.
Hat's off to you successful RE cats - REIT Index - is as close as I want to get in my - er ah old age - living in a fish camp is RE enough for me. I'd rather rent - but she likes it - a non financial decision - descretion being the better part of valor and all that rot.
Heh, heh, heh.
P.S. As to DRIPs - may switch to kayaks - if I ever get bored.

Very finely sliced:
10% Emerging Markets
22% Foreign Stocks
5% US Large Cap Stocks
20% Real Estate
10% Oil, Gas, and Commodities
30% Cash and Bonds
3% Gold
No individual stocks; mutual funds from Vanguard, Fidelity, and Third Avenue. ETF for the gold.
Just got settled into this allocation this year, so no results to report yet.
