Why is residential property a good investment?

1.15K viewsEconomicsOther

I can’t really wrap my head around it, you can have a tenant in there that maybe covers the mortgage, but it’s not really a good investment if you’re not getting a return?

Even if you use 500k to buy a property cash, wouldn’t that money be better off in the market?

Answer: most home values increase over time, often substantially. You can rent or use the equity to borrow additional funds for other purposes. And you have to live somewhere- better to own something than to throw money away in rent.
