How to Build Wealth through Real Estate Investing?
Some investors say it is better to invest money in a thing that you touch or see rather than investing money in paper assets. If you have the same thinking, you better start buying property as soon as you can because investment properties such as houses, lots whether it is commercial or agricultural land, your properties can be twice the value when you bought it after few years. If you luckily found cheap property that has the potential to sell high, then, you’re slowly getting wealthy. Keep on buying and selling property.
Compare to buying cars, real estate investing has a big difference. Try to buy a luxury car today worth $200,000 and sell it the moment you drive it. The car will depreciate its value while investment property appreciates.

I remember what T Harv Eker said about investing in real estate. If you own a piece of land, someday that piece of land is the instrument that can make you wealthy. In my case, I bought two residential properties and I plan to sell them after 15 years.
