Advantages of holding - tax benefits, income stream, appreciation which can periodically be cashed in on tax free from cash out refinloan proceeds.

I am 62 and swing trade stocks/ETFs for a living but would like to add real estate to my income stream.

Older people in their retirement phase often love income streams, which you could provide.

There's a stream in the back of the property and the back side of the unit is in the flood zone while the front isn't. 

It was not our primary revenue stream but we owned/controlled the adjacent scrap (empty) land and it was a very small (and inexpensive) lot but convenient for 'customers'... but I'd do it again in a heartbeat if I had a similar opportunity.

The concept is really intriguing and I am starting see start ups like Hub Haus and Common really brand themselves in the space.

Opens doors to additional streams of income. 

BRRR is the strategy to grow our portfolio, ideally we can increase the number of cash flow streams and cash on hand to rinse and repeat.  

So, basically, I would buy myself a salary (income stream), albeit larger than what I make now, and we would then invest our savings in real estate with an eye to the future. 

Every property has two income streams..the property and the equity.
