Rent or buy

[David Y.]

So I wondering if any other experienced investors out there could share your insights on Rent or buy the primary residence property?  I have $250k equity in my primary residence property currently. Should I sell it and use the $250k to buy 5 houses and get positive cash flow for $2000 and rent a comparable house in my area for $3000? I heard that buying the primary residence to live in is the worse form of REI investment, what do you think? Thank you for your insights.
