Getting clear on blend you are optimizing for is key. 

If you are seeking a blend of these benefits, then it is important not to evaluate your investment choices using just one metric such as cashflow.A pet peeve of mine is when people take the annual cashflow (*cash throw off) divided by the cash invested (*equity) and call it cash on cash return.
