Looking over the spreadsheet, it seems a little difficult to compare as it seems like it takes an apples to apples comparison where it assumes that if I did not buy a say, $1.5M multifamily, I would be paying 1% of that amount in rent if I kept renting.

Use that number as your comparison for what it would cost if you bought a multifamily rental.Second, mortgage rates are higher than they were (and more where they'd normally be, the last ~15 years had them artificially low) and house prices are higher, so don't look at what people did 10 years ago. 

Buying rentals for cash is VERY conservative and will take a long time to amass a decent portfolio.Leverage is how to grow your portfolio and wealth faster.Simple Comparison Example:1) Buy $100k property cash, it appreciates 5% in value annually => basically a 5% return on your investment ($5k/$100k).2) Buy $100k property with 20% down, mortgage rest.

I dropped over $50k on one mentorship which pales in comparison to Pace's community with Subto.

Gold by comparison is truly supply constrained and has been accepted as a medium of exchange for centuries.

Monthly Payment AmountRent Comparison: If the property would rent for $1,500 per month, you may want to structure the financing so that the monthly payment is similar to or slightly below this amount.Example: A $180,000 loan (after 10% down) at 8% interest on a 30-year amortization would result in a monthly principal and interest payment of about $1,320, which is close to the rental value and should be appealing to buyers.5.

Here's a comparison of the two:1.
