Properties will always have the advantage anywhere even though the yield might be declining, as the "physical asset" aspect of it still holds a place in investors' minds. Bonds, no doubt are considered "risk free" assets but it is only as good as the honour of the issuing party. To place all capital on buying bonds is not advisable as well, with $2m.. can buy a $1m suburbia real estate for rental yield (with potential for capital increase), then $500k for bonds in secondary market (medium term) and $500k for blue chip pref shares if u like. The fluctuations are lower and there is some diversification. This is considered low-risk, but of course all investment decisions lie with risk appetite.
Agree with bros here, the $2m is out of reach for most ppl...
