I suppose it depends on how you are investing in that property.
If you put $10K down, rent the property out, and the money you collect from rent pays for the mortgage, taxes, and repairs; you end up with something worth say $400K 25 years later with only 10K down. You would need to earn over 15% per year every year to do that somewhere else.
But if you buy a 2nd house for guests to use when they come into town, then I would agree it isn't a sound strategy.
