what barron said is kind of what i see in RE (he always posts clearer an more accurate). I mean with all the creativity RE allows for, you can find a good bargain (ov this is most important if your investing short term) buy 500k property (at a discount)for 5k down + closing/other charges, and sell w/ in 3 months. In which case you may possibly earn over 100%

Now, you really need to be experienced, have a solid network, and able to handle risk if you want to make it as easy as it sounds.

I cant discuss options b/c or stocks, b/c I have not done as much reading about them as I have about RE.
