I shifted from investing with a cash flow focus to the appreciation and tax benefits side of things.

Even if you are negative cash flowing but living there, it may be worth it, as you are not paying rent to someone else.

I have reviewed their properties which is in line with the type of assets I like to own for cash flow. 

By accelerating your depreciation schedules, you reduce your taxable income which in turn increases your operating cash flow.

Couple hundred bucks a door monthly cash flow, solid ROI, and yes plenty appreciation (#1 appreciating city 2023).

And notice the flow.

My core investing philosophy is pretty simple, and has done very well across almost two decades and numerous cities:1) Invest in cities with population (and job) growth2) Invest in parts of the city where household income is near the median (or slightly below)3) Invest in properties that provide cash flow from day 1 Thank you for sharing that. 

All interest payments flow back to the Roth IRA and HSA tax-free. 

Quote from @Adam Ortiz: Hey everyone,My biggest dream is to own my own property, and start developing some cash flow.

I can only speak to myself personally but I've continued to invest, knowing properties may not cash flow much but I've invested in value-add so focusing on appreciation.
