Should I use my money to buy stocks in the Stock market or buy a condo first?

If I have an existing shelter over my head now, then I will choose the stock market. This is because I can build a strong and well-diversified portfolio with the cash that I have (for the condo).

Accordingly, I reduce my investment risk and liquidity risk.

However, if I choose to buy a condo (on mortgage), then my remaining money has to work harder for me to repay the debt and earn a return for me. Also, I may be subjeted to more risk than just having a well-diversified portfolio itself.

Hence, I will choose the former.

Here is everything about me and what I do best.

Personally I would go into the stock markets to capitalize on the market correction during this period and also not to take on too much leverage due to my prudent nature. It's hard to determine if private property will outperform stock markets in the long term, but you can still take the risk if you're really confident in your outlook/foresight about real estate.
