Investment properties are real estate assets purchased with the primary goal of generating income or appreciation over time, rather than for personal use. These properties are acquired with the intention of earning rental income, flipping for a profit, or both. Investment properties come in various forms, including residential rental homes, apartment buildings, commercial real estate, and vacant land. Investors may leverage different strategies, such as long-term buy-and-hold, short-term flipping, or value-add renovations, to maximize returns on investment properties. Unlike primary or secondary residences, investment properties are typically treated as business assets and may offer tax advantages such as depreciation deductions and capital gains tax treatment.
