property investment

Buying rental buildings

Property investment is the purchase of real estate—residential, commercial, or land—with the expectation of financial return through rental income, appreciation, or both.

Unlike buying a home to live in, property investment treats real estate as an asset class: She diversified her portfolio with property investment.

The term often implies a longer-term strategy than house flipping.
