Real estate builds wealth through leverage, but that stays a buzzword until someone makes it concrete. Put $12,000 in the stock market and have a great year at 10%, you made $1,200. Put that same $12,000 down as 3% on a $400,000 house, and the house appreciates 5%, that's $20,000. Same $12,000 out of pocket, but $20,000 instead of $1,200.
That's the whole game.
Send this to whoever says real estate isn't worth it.
