Is equity or cash flow better for wealth building
Hello everyone, as I’ve been on bigger pockets the last couple of months I’ve developed a plan to brrr and house hack mfr but if you only get a couple hundred in cash flow a month how do you build wealth? If I had 10 properties that cash flowed +200 I would only have an extra 2,000 a month. So what is the real wealth builder equity or cash flow and why also how do people work their way up from buy and holds to apartment buildings thanks for your time

The answer is both. Appreciation leading to increased equity probably has a larger impact on net worth but you can't necessarily spend that. Cash flow is money in the bank every month to live on or re-invest.
