To me, this would be just another way to save money, because home investment and land investment are great investments! Investing in a real estate is not the same as buying a car, which goes down in value as soon as you drive it off the lot. Remember the three rules of real estate when you are looking for investment potential, (1.) location (2.) location (3.) location.

Pray that Congress does not eliminate the mortgage interest deduction.
