Basically, they suggest to buy a property with very little money, collect the cashflow, then refinance to pull money out of the property, buy more real estate for more cash flow and quit the W2 they hate.The first flaw is that a lot of the books written before 2020 will tell you to analyze more deals until you find one that cashflows.
