Advantages of renting vs. ETF

Who decided against the ETF (holy grail, etc.) and in favor of purchasing a property including renting it out? It is difficult for me to understand why one should take the risk and the work involved in a property when the portfolio works passively and (historically) profitably for me. Especially since the main argument of tax-free sales will soon no longer apply after 10 years. So landlord, speak up! submitted by /u/Obvious_Union7863 [link] [comments]
