Should you invest in Real Estate?  What will your actual return be?

It seems like everyone is chasing the same golden rainbow.  There is an old saying that a stock bubble can be predicted when your barber provides investment advice, similar could be true in real estate.  Just the other day I got a haircut and the stylist was providing advice on investing in real estate and how she is getting into flipping houses and holding properties for rental income.  I started to wonder, can anyone make millions in real estate?
