In markets where land and building prices are rising, real estate is often purchased as an investment, whether
or not the owner intends to use the property. Often investment properties are rented out, but "flipping"
involves quickly reselling a property, sometimes taking advantage of arbitrage or quickly rising value, and
sometimes after repairs are made that substantially raise the value of the property.
Luxury real estate is sometimes used as a way to store value, especially by wealthy foreigners, without any
particular attempt to rent it out. Some luxury units in London and New York City have been used as a way
for corrupt foreign government officials and businesspeople from countries without strong rule of
law to launder money or to protect it from seizure.[5]
