Home ownership is much simpler than playing with stocks,
I have to strongly disagree about that. Buying/selling a stock is a mouse click. Tax accounting is a one liner. Buying/selling a house is a major amount of work. Heck, even once you have a deal, you have a stack of 30 or more papers you gotta sign. Dealing with the taxes on it is a major amount of record keeping - especially if you make any capital improvements.
