You're absolutely right—positive cash flow from rentals can vary significantly depending on factors like property costs, financing, and the ever changing market conditions.For real estate the challenge isn't just accumulating properties but creating a framework that builds net worth more strategically and sustainably.Cash Flow can be generated in many ways, my intention was to better understand the investor mindset and their approach, if they wanted to share.Based on your example, if using conservative calculations at $100K/door, you would pay $20M for access to $40K/month.
