    Owning the home you live in is personal property, owning a home to rent out is capital -- you are using this asset to make money.

    The home you live in won't provide real I come, as to realize any gains from the asset you have to sell and move -- and to live somewhere else will cost money too. Only boomers and people who don't get it think there is value in a home asset. It's really just a cheaper way to have a place to live versus renting.

    Yes, there is an advantage over renting, but that is just an argument to be made for everyone owning their home.
