Basically, in the context of FI and your broader portfolio, should you think of income properties just like any other asset with their own ROI (no different than a stock or bond), or should the expected income from these just be deduced from what you expect to spend, and you really ignore the equity portion of it.I think this more broadly speaks to the question of how to transition from growth to income and how to plan for that as you build out your real estate AND stock/bond portfolio.Any thoughts/advice appreciated!
