$600 in gold is different from $600 in real estate.
After the $600 spent on gold, you don't have any more out-of-pocket costs.
$600 in investment real estate means the rent (revenue) you receive needs to be larger or even to the expenses of that real estate, otherwise, you are taking money out of your pocket to support said real estate.
Real estate in GVR has not cash flowed in a long long time. So anyone who bought investment real estate in the last five years is likely cashflow negative, meaning they are paying out of pocket to service the debt/expenses on the real estate.
