Property Appreciation does not help Passive Income

Query: You did not calculate property appreciation in returns.--from interview in Wint Wealth channel.

The core idea of the interview was to describe how income from investments are used to fund living expenses. This implies a cash flow required, from the investments made, which do not require any active fund management. Thus, they can be termed as passive income.
The fixed assets, property, provide income in form of rentals from the tenants occupying the property. This rent value does not change with the fluctuation in the property prices. It is often dictated by the increase in rental values over the whole area. As such the rental income is not determined by the property value appreciation.
Any increase in the property value is notional or book prfits. One will not be able to enjoy this increase unless the property is sold off. But in this case, the rental income will stop. One cannot just sell off a part of the property so that the appreciation value can be taken out.
The topic of the interview was around current expenses required for living and how this is funded from the investment income flowing in. Hence, the property appreciation was not included in the return of the calculation.
