Question:
Is Zakat due on the house I reside in, or is it only due on investment properties?

Answer:
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
الجواب وبالله التوفيق والنجاح
Zakat is not due on the house you reside in, as it falls under personal necessities. However, Zakat is due on any properties purchased for commercial/reselling purposes.
والله أعلم بالصواب
