The Millionaire Real Estate Investor by Gary Kelley, Dave Jenks, Jay Papasan

[Eric Jelen]

I know the "The Millionaire Real Estate Investor" is one of the most popular books on REI. I just finished the book last week and it seemed to have different ideology than the majority of investors on the forum and other books I have read. The authors put a lot of emphasis on keeping track of your net worth. This seems to counter to the idea that cash flow is king. There were many stories of millionaire real estate investors at the end of the book who prefer to have paid off properties rather than accumulating as many properties as possible. What is your opinion on net worth?
