What does it mean to invest in real estate? Rather than just buying a house to live in, investing is about purchasing a property that will produce income. That could mean you buy a home that you intend to flip (fix up and sell quickly for more than you bought it for) or rent out. Or maybe it’s something larger: an apartment or commercial building that has tenants who will pay you enough rent to cover the cost of owning the building, and then some.

Remember: The goal is to build wealth, and that takes time. Don’t rush in without planning!
