Incorrecto. If you buy a property at $X and for one reason or another it is valued at < $X some time afterwards, only your assets vs liabilities change on paper. Your cash situation is actually improved after tax.
You hold the property and after time it is valued > $X, at which time your assets vs liabilities is looking good AND you can realise a cash profit should you (unwisely) decide to sell.
Unlike shares, property can never become worthless.
