Home(s) should be included as investments and part of Asset Allocation

Home's (or Equity in a home) should be allowed as investments. In addition, Asset Allocation should include "Real Estate" as many people consider Real Estate (including REIT's) as part of their investment portfolio.

But it will be included as "Cash". Allocation is done by the "security type not the account type, and a house account has no security associated with it.
So the new change allowing user to create Asset Classes is great and being able to assign an asset as an investment is also helpful. However, having the ability to assign the asset (or loan) investment to an Asset Class seems to be the missing piece. Sounds like a simple but worthwhile enhancement. Right?
Note that many people choose not to include the value of their home in their investment asset allocation, because it is not liquid, you can't easily sell a portion of it, etc.
Quicken does of course include the home equity in your Net Worth.
They would have to create a whole new setting/system for that kind of thing.
Yes it would be useful, but "not easy".
Then it could be used for other assets like precious metals, art, or whatever.
The asset class should also apply to any linked loan.
