Did you look only at changes in median prices (capital gain), or did you include a rental income stream as well? You would need to make allowance for maintenance and various fees and taxes out of that income stream, but it usually still exceeds the capital gain.
I only looked at the median prices of residential properties from 2015 to 2025. Particularly because of the whole “flipping houses” meme. It would be interesting to see how the cost/reward ratio of flipping houses compares to other asset classes, including long-term rental investment properties.
