Statistics show that although prices move up and down, over the course of a long hold on a property, values consistently have risen. This is always good news to investors. Another bonus in addition to rising values for investors who chose to rent or lease their investments in that they can in most cases prove to run cash flow positive meaning the revenue received is greater than the expenses for the property leaving a surplus of funds. The properties are paid down and mortgages decreased usually over time which increases the investors return on investment.
Some people may say the downside to owning a property to rent or lease out is a hassle. To most it very well can be.
