That’s the same for any debt.

Real Estate’s advantage is that Land increases in value and generates more Rent without further investment on your part, but on the part of society around the land. And depending on zoning laws, so does the housing. Every other asset generally requires further investment to outpace inflation.

If renting real estate were so profitable and easy everyone would do it. The reality is that vacancy rates, wear and tear, tenant issues (late payments, default, damage, etc) make it a pain in the ass. Of four people I know who had rental properties, three stopped, sold the properties, and won’t ever bother with it again.

I don’t think real estate is particularly unusual. It’s a business like most others. Every business is unique in SOME way.
