In 10 years your equities investment still is only making 10-15%, but even if you can currently only match that on cash flow from renting your property out, then future rent increases, appreciation, and equity would make it a very strong investment in 10 years.

Jimmy,definitely, it doesn't matter if you have a property worth 230,000 and you're buying it for a dollar...well maybe not that far below market :D - but what makes a property a good prospect is if it matches your EXIT STRATEGYthis is made up of many different factors.Your exit strategy (or goal of purchase) is the most important aspect for your investment approach because it establishes your boundries and lets you know exactly where you stand and where you want to go!

Real estate investing strategies are so numerous it's hard to "pick" one.the problem with "picking" a real estate investment strategy is they're not like mutual funds. to be a real estate investor, you've got think like a businessman. a businessman or entrepreneur, is a control freak - they want to figure everything out and have the satisfaction of control.real estate investment strategies do not match the modern-day "investor"...people with 401k's who "pick" a portfolio are not investors. heck, the portfolio managers are not entrepreneurs, they're employees of a HUGE company and they manage these gigantic funds with so many different companies, it's no wonder there's no money in mutual funds.real estate investment strategies involve looking at CASH FLOW.
