A good investment is one that will give you the expected return; buying vacation property is one way of investing in real estate. If rented out to vacationers, it can pay for itself. .
Real estate investments are predicated on the growth of the value of the property overtime. So when you go to sell the property, you expect to receive the difference in the value of the property when you bought it in relation to the value when you sell it.
