Monetizing your property

Real estate property appreciates or increases in time. Real estate cycle is five years. Every five years, the real estate property appreciates or depreciates. If you buy the property on the right time, you can deeply benefit from Interest Only Mortgage. Let us take for example the Vancouver real estate market in Canada. In 2010, A Winter Olympics will be held in Vancouver, Canada. Real estate property appreciates in value. A one bedroom condo is worth $120,000 in 2000. After six years, the one bedroom condo is worth $240,000. That is a $120,000 profit. Multiply your profit by 10 real estate property. That makes you a millionaire.
