Real estate has always been in the back of my mind as a way to increase our wealth and provide for our family.

They'll tap out in 3 months, max.Rates can increase.

A few months go by and unbeknownst to me the escrow account had now drawn negative which triggers the lender to no longer apply what’s considered a “partial” payment to them, given that I’m now paying less that what’s due given the escrow increase required but not relayed to me even though I expected it at some point.Last month I’m on Zillow looking at the value of my properties.

How much will the increased cashflow supplement your anticipated SSI?

In 2022 the rents increased 12.1% year over year which was the 3rd highest in the entire country per https://www.axios.com/local/cleveland/2023/02/14/cleveland-rent-prices.

So what kind of property would it take for you to increase your cash flow by $2000 - $3000 a year. 

And over time, as those assets to make our product we sell had a fixed price, the dollar does not sit fixed, our cost of product increases meaning increased cash-flow.

(It could take 8 years to get to today’s market rent, if market rent didn’t increase $1 during those 8 years.  

By the 3rd or 4th year if they aren't the same or have increased we all prob will have bigger problems

When the ROE is significantly smaller than my CoC return (based on initial investment) I know it's time to make a move to increase the velocity of the money.
