Most people think they know the answer to this.
An asset puts money in your pocket.
A liability takes money out.
Simple enough.
But here is where it gets interesting,
The same property can be an asset for one person
and a liability for another.
Bought in the right location, with the right title, at the right entry price,
It appreciates, it generates rental income, it gives you options.
That is an asset.
Bought based on emotion, in the wrong area, with a questionable title, from an unverified developer,
It sits. It stagnates. It costs you in legal fees and stress.
That is a liability wearing the face of an investment.
The property did not change.
The decision around it did.
This weekend, look at what you own or what you are planning to own.
Ask yourself honestly:
Is this working for me, or am I working for it?
That answer will tell you everything you need to know about your next move.
