Investors are basically faced with 3 options when investing - cash, shares or property. Cash investment, such as in bonds is a low risk or secure investment, but the returns are generally low. Shares can have a very high return, but the risks are also high. Residential property has consistenty doubled in value every seven to ten years since the early 1900s and is generally a high return but with a reduced long term risk.

Indeed if you wish to borrow money for other investments then you will generally need to secure them with property. With property you can use the power of leverage to borrow for a larger investment with a smaller initial capital.
