It is true there are some downsides to home ownership. But if owning a home is such a horrible investment then why are so many buying up single family homes to turn into rentals? Personally our home has doubled in value over the past ten years. Of course that fluctuates but it is real.

I guess it's a good investment if you are able to cash-out but, often, you still have to buy another house which has also doubled in value?
