500 shares @ 85 bucks is $42,500. If you had bought $400,000 worth of real estate in many areas in Jan. 2004 (Bend, Ore, 106% in 5 years=21% per year) at the end of 2006, the value would've increased to $705,000+. That is a $305,000 gain, PLUS some tax savings each year of about 6K. Pretty close to same results overall, imo.
