Why does one lease something? To provide value equal or better to the cost, no?

  If I lease an apartment for two years, that's not an investment.

    In accounting terms it’s not an investment it’s an operating expense or in your example a personal expense, but if you leased a property and operated a business (ie an AirBnB for an apartment) it could be considered as part of an investment as it’s a means to make a profit.

      that would be an investment in your own business, not in your landlord right?

        The landlords business is the rent, your business goal would be making a profit more than the lease. This is pretty simple stuff
