On that scale we have a range of properties in our portfolio, even though I have started to trade out properties from the lower end back in 2014/2015, and some cashflow a little better - however, when you look at the total financial picture there is a lot more than cash flow: obviously appreciation, but also principal pay down, turn over rate and soft factors like tenant quality and with that turnover cost.RE's primary superpower is equity, cash flow is secondary.

In the future when I start trading up to larger properties (50 to 100+ properties) I will likely sell off my current portfolio to condense my holdings to fewer parcels so that way my time is better utilized.
