@Kyle Kline“Investing for equity and not cash flow” doesn’t mean “buy properties that don’t cash flow.”To me, invest for equity not cash flow means that the PRIMARY reason to invest is for equity growth and an increase in net worth and NOT cash flow.I’ve been investing for over 40 years and while cash flow is important, it’s not why invest.A property must be self supporting ie produce enough cash flow to cover debt service, operational expenses including repairs and replacements.

By year two, he refinanced to lower his rate and dramatically increased his cash flow.
