It depends whether to invest in real estate directly but I would go with NO
The reason being not choosing real estate as an investment opportunity is because it is still not justifying returns compare to other asset classes like equities, mutual funds, only in one condition you can invest in real estate if you see good future of development in particular location which may yield a good return compare to other asset classes

What type of investment is better that real estate: Equities

Real estate sector did not give a good return compare to equities from 2008 housing bubble housing and real estate market did rise the way it should still has a stagnancy however stock market rose by 19% in 2017 which is better than any asset classes if you invest sensibly in good quality stocks with long term view and equities helps to get compounded return which you wont get in real estate or any other asset class.
