I don't think this is true. The investment value of a house is not its appreciation, but rather its ability to generate income in the form of rent.

There's no contradiction. If it's easy to generate rent income from a house then houses will appreciate in price. For example, if I can buy a house and pay off the loan just from rent payments then it's a great investment.
