Appreciation Over Time
Real estate is generally valued over time. That is, even though the real estate market is full of ups and downs, properties in favorable areas are those that normally gain value. Thus, these are the properties that bring large dividends to investors.
The property values are increasing because the demand goes up, the population grows, the economy develops, and people are moving to bigger cities, which results in urbanization. If you keep the property for some years, the chance is you will get rental income as well as you will get a profit when the time comes to sell at a high price.
