The only good part is leverage.
my 2 cents
1. leverage : no bank will loan you half mil to play the gold, you have the first house then you build the equity to buy the second, when you have the second, you have more equity to play a bigger game;
2. Control of cash flow : rental income, how much you charge, who you rent to, your cost of running this as a business , tax related issues, etc, etc, are under your control. Investing in gold you leave your fate to the market. I tend to think making money from business perspective not from the angle of investing. Positive cash flow is the key to the long term growth of a business.
3. And again, money is cheap;
4. For many middle class people who have a good pay jobs, why not benefit from the good credit history you build through the years and start build a good relationship with the banks, of course with caution, we know what Americans came down to.
