Aligning strategy and goals

[David N.]

I'm just getting into this. Everything I read says that I need to align my strategy and my goals, which makes perfect sense. However, I have yet to come across a comprehensive and clear analysis of how different investment vehicles align with different strategies and so I'm looking for someone who can provide that breakdown or knows where I can find it. Here's my analysis and maybe someone can tell me if they agree/disagree. 

Fix and flips and BRRRs and LTRs all seem like vehicles where the bulk of the yield is coming at the point of sale when you capture equity. With fix and flps and BRRRs that day comes sooner relatively to LTRs. BRRRs and LTRs both generate cash flow but it seems like the real value comes down the line. Fix and Flips and BRRRs are more work so obviously if I don't want to invest that time and that money then that wouldn't be the strategy for me.

With STRs, the cash flow potential is reported to be higher from what I read, assuming you buy the right property, and understand the ongoing costs.  It seems like with LTR's I might be making a hundreds of dollars a month, whereas with STRs, I might be making thousands. Obviously, it all depends on doing things well, but that's the best case.

Do I have this right?

Thanks,

David
