eli5 the Difference between Asset and Property

714 views

Hi everyone,

Can someone please explain to me the difference between these two? I thought Asset would comprise Property but then I noticed property is split into tangible and intangible properties. I was thinking property was part of tangible assets but now I’m confused.

Thank you in advance!

Houses and Boats are both property; things you can touch. The House is an asset as it is likely to provide future value. The Boat is a liability as it is likely to keep loosing money with value loss over time.
