you can pretend it’s not an investment, but at the end of the day, you either make money on it, lose money on it, or break even, as compared to rent. so it is a massive investment, of time, money and energy. to say it’s not an investment is, well, not being genuine in my book. I agree, it’s adifferent type of long term investment, but its not like at the end of the day, when you ahve to settle up, there’s not a result.
