I feel like this is a meme made by someone who hasn’t really spent time browsing Zillow and seeing what’s for sale, what gets bought, and what gets flipped.
People “investing” in a single family home usually make money by cleaning / renovating the property to some degree. Even if a neighborhood is coming up, if you buy a home and just sit on it, you’re probably going to make less money than if you just invested in a mutual fund.
I work in the title industry and see houses being bought by LLCs and trusts with cash and then sold weeks later for $100,000 more with only curb appeal modifications or no repairs at all. It’s pretty common.
