It really depends on your investment stratergy,It's true you can't expect a high rise apartment to increase in value as fast as a house and land close to a growing area, However.The way I look at investing in property is that a property is a inflation hedged income stream, Meaning that even though your high rise apartment won't increase as fast…[Read more]
