A variation on the "Rabi rule" is the common-sense fact that real estate by most accepted rules of accounting is not a liquid asset, i.e., not equal to or easily converted to cash. The ease of home equity lines of credit notwithstanding, thinking of your house as a savings or investment account is probably unwise.
