Should you sell your investments to buy a rental property?

I am considering liquidating my stocks and mutual funds to buy a flat in Bangalore North. Will this be a good option with the next 5 years as the horizon? Or should I stay invested and buy a flat after 5 years? Which will give me a better return? The flat, if purchased, will be rented out. - Shankar Krishnamurthy
