One of the things I love about real estate is that once you have purchased a property, you can do many things to increase its value way more than the cost of making the improvement.

Whereas most other investments do not offer significant leverage, property offers tremendous leverage through the generous application of mortgage financing. What’s more unlike with other investments, you can often buy properties at prices significantly below their value, you can do things to them to further increase their value way beyond the cost of the improvement, and you do not need to seel to reap huge benefits from the increase in value.

Property… is relaxed, laid-back, solid, consistent, and sure. I did not say ‘slow-but-sure’… But you do not have to work it every nail-biting moment of the day.
Dolf de Roos
