And my rental cash flow went from only $1500/month to 19k/month profit by taking on more loans and harvesting the equity in some of my properties including my primary.

I have a preference for cash-flowing properties, but they are hard to find in my area.

This then would allow you to look at a property 1500sf 3/2 with the same rehab as a property in the same condition that you got a bid for 1-4 weeks ago..

You know a similar thing happened in Kansas City (more specifically Jackson County, MO) regarding property taxes in 2023.

After about 10 years I have accumulated a fair amount of small multifamily properties. 

The vast majority of your wealth gain in real estate will be by holding properties long term and the appreciation/principal paydown will slowly but surely help you become wealthy.For 90% plus of people out there who are looking to start, house hacking is the best way to go.

We don't directly manage properties.

I believe the property have appreciated in value just based off recent sales in my market area.

Awesome job with getting a cash flowing property!

So, I focused on markets where I could actually find properties within that price range.
