When you invest in intangible assets, like stocks or bonds, all you have to show for your investment is a piece of paper.
Most of the time, buildings and land appreciates, making your investment worth more than you paid for it.
As you pay your mortgage balance down and/or renovate the property to increase its value, you can leverage the equity.
Most investments don’t provide cash flow. At the very least, they may provide dividends, but you only receive them quarterly.
Most homeowners don’t itemize their deductions, so they can’t take advantage of real estate savings.
When you invest in real estate, it’s not liquid. You invest in it for the long term. As time passes, you earn more equity in the home.
