        "text": "An investment property is real estate purchased with the intention of generating income through rental, resale, or both, rather than for personal occupancy. Key differences include the financing terms, tax implications, and the primary objective: investment properties focus on financial return, whereas a primary residence prioritizes personal housing needs. Understanding these distinctions is crucial, as the criteria for evaluating an investment property, such as potential rental yield and appreciation, will differ significantly from those for a home you intend to live in, influencing factors like location choice and property type.",
