This means that short term ownership and flipping is not the way to build wealth through real estate. This takes time as well as patience, but most investors see a massive return on investment by the time they decide to sell.

What Are the Ways of Making Real Estate Wealth?

There are so many ways of making real estate wealth, it really just depends on what is right for you and why we are discussing the topic of real estate income (see last Wed. Sep. 10, 2025 blog post) vs. real estate wealth. Here are some great ways to make real estate wealth.
 

• Flip and Hold:

  • For those who love those home renovation shows but don’t want to take on the burden or worry of selling it right after the renovations with a higher price tag, a great alternative is to complete some much-needed renovations on the property and rent it out.

  • This way, you are building home equity on the property, as well as letting the property appreciate in value so that when you sell it, you make much more than what you would have made listing it right after the renovations.

• Rent to Own/Lease Contract:

  • This is a great way to get current tenants on the route to eventually purchase the property you currently own. This contract basically entails that the tenant has the option to, but with no obligation, to purchase the property they are residing in. The pricing is predetermined, and many landlords implement a sizable down payment to prevent the possibility of the tenant deciding to back out.

• Long Term Rental Property:

  • This is the most common way investors build real estate wealth. Long term rentals entail both residential as well as commercial real estate. Not only does owning a property long term help to build home equity, but there are also tax benefits doing so.

Where Should I Be Investing to Generate Real Estate Wealth?

When it comes to building long term wealth through home equity in real estate, there are so many places that are great opportunities in southern Ontario. With the GO rail expansion, we are seeing growth for areas that were previously considered undesirable. So, when talking about real estate income vs real estate wealth, it is important to consider the latter.

 

With prices in the city increasing to an amount that is no longer considered affordable for most people, many commuters are moving away from the city more willingly. We are seeing just how much property prices are being affected by the GO rail expansion and see it as an opportunity to get ahead before the property prices skyrocket.

 

Real estate wealth isn’t built overnight - it’s the result of strategic planning, smart investments, and a long-term vision. Whether you're leveraging rental income, capital appreciation, or portfolio diversification through REITs, the opportunities in real estate are vast and accessible. By understanding the principles of value creation and staying informed about market trends, investors can unlock powerful financial growth and stability. As you continue your journey, remember that real estate isn’t just about property - it’s about building a legacy of wealth that can last for generations.
