The ups and downs of property values

In real estate investing, the return on investment is normally achieved through the income that would be generated by the property. However, investors would earn an extra bonus if the property purchased would appreciate more than the normal rate. There are also investors who are motivated to buy vacant lots of properties even if it is not generating any income, simply because of expectation of a higher price in the future.
