It depends on the type of the investment. For example, equity investments and debt investments have different ways that investors see a return.
One of the great attributes of equity real estate investing is that returns can be generated from both income and capital appreciation. Income returns, paid out in the form of dividends, are earned from rental income (less operating expenses such as property tax, insurance, maintenance, and mortgage debt). Capital appreciation occurs when the value of a property increases over time and is realized when the property is sold.
