how so?
Anything you put thousands of dollars of your own money into is an investment - collector cars, crypto, artwork, gold, your Star Wars collection, and housing. Whether those are a GOOD investment or not is another question, but its definitely an investment.
if I purchase a home because I need a place to live, it’s not an investment. Investment comes when sale is realized. On the point of the seller. I own my home. I will not sell it. It is not an investment. It is where I live.
Whether you sell it or not, that doesnt change the fact that you have invested a great deal of money into it, therefore it is an investment. Its status in your life has nothing to do with whether you plan on making a profit on it or not, its merely the definition of investing money.
