99% of vehicles are liabilities. A classic collector car that holds or rises in value and that you rent out might be an asset.  1% maybe.

A house is an asset., especially if it covers your shelter expenses (or close to it)  via househackng.

Buy the assets first to pay for liabilities.  

True example.  I bought a little house cash for $90k in 2018.  CF is $650. While I was inspecting it a young dude showed up with a Tesla X and 'Easter Egged' it. (made it dance) 

He has a car but no house.  If I wanted I could buy the car with my CF and still have the house after I paid the car off.  Assets first👍
