A high commodity if you ask me! The right real estate can sell for 2-4 times what you originally bought it for. In this housing climate buying is such a great idea! Selling on the other hand isn't right now. But if you sit on your properties long enough the housing market will turn around for the better and you'll be one of those people on the internet selling your story of real estate genius.

How is real estate considered an investment?

Real estate is a commodity that people "invest" money in. Investment by definition is the "laying out money or capital in an enterprise with the expectation of profit". With respect to real estate investors pay for the ownership rights in real property with the expectation of achieving a profit. Profits can be obtained in numerous ways with real estate: appreciation, capitalization rates on rentals, cash flow properties, or improving the condition of a property for pennies on the dollar and "flipping" or reselling the asset for a profit. In addition, real estate is an investment that through the loan process allows investors to leverage the bank's money. Where else can you put little to no money down and be able to utilize what is arguably most peoples single largest asset. Therefore, real estate is an investment that can generate tremendous returns.
