Equity does not increase cash flow it reduces cash flow because the cash must first be paid it's pound of flesh.Opportunity value of cash is far higher than any prevailing interest rates.

@Justin Pounds I think it depends on what type of investing you are planning on doing.

Equity's training programs are better and more helpful.Equity has a relationship with a mortgage company that will call and pre-qualify your leads for you (and they remain your leads).Equity is an 800-pound, elegant gorilla in the industry and particularly in Utah (where we maintain a 22% market share) which means that we can negotiate better arrangements with vendors even nationwide.Equity is very well represented in local boards and NAR.Equity's Profit Share Program is one-of-a-kind and pays out $40-$60K every month to Agents religiously.Equity's model doesn't eliminate the incentive for brokers to continue to be helpful to agents which results in higher service ratings.These are just a few areas.

The technician even wrote on their quote that the compressor and refrigerant was a "Band aid" repair and suggested that they purchase a new unit from them.The AC system is sealed, so if it is low 4 pounds that means there is a leak.

While it is possible to obtain local mortgages in Egyptian Pounds, the interest rate of 14% means that it is probably not going to be financially viable to finance in this way.These high interest rates are good news for overseas investors in Egyptian property.

But we do try to pound it into the learning of new Real Estate Investors as their number one failure is incorrectly estimating expenses.
