Which is better is to invest my money in a bank or to build a villa for myself?

I have an amount of money that matches the cost of building a villa. Which is better is to keep the money in a bank or to build a villa.

Building a Villa typically entails more risk but almost always has a much higher return, but:

1) You need to see how overheated your Real estate market is
2) Do you want to sell or live in it?
3) How much value can you add personally in building it as opposed to hiring people

If you can buy at prices lower than a few years ago or in a market that didn't experience the increases that North America and much of Europe experienced since 2001 and want to live in it for at least 5 years and can add value with your own hands, build the villa. You will make a lot.

The bank does not pay enough and the villa is to risky.
I would suggest a third option. Invest your money in the stock market. Don't buy individual stocks. Buy large ETF's or Mutual funds.
Get some advice from an advisor if you don't understand investing.
The market has proven to be the best place to have money over the long haul.
Remember, there are 2 types of money. Money you work for an money that works for you.
Good luck.
