No it doesn't.

For example, just because you put $40,000 down on a $200,000 house and then resell it a few years later at $280,000, doesn't mean you made a net profit of $80,000 due to leverage.

There's all these "hidden costs" that people never seems to take into consideration comparing real estate with stocks...
