Both vehicles are paid off.

It's a great way to create a healthy portfolio over time, and it's a fantastic vehicle for wealth building. 

Hi guys, I am self employed with no proof of W2s, i make a living buying cars at dealer auctions and leaving them on a local used car lot on consignment, I have $30k liquid and around $90k tied up in my current vehicles, usually my  vehicle inventory is sub 11, I want to get into the real estate game but in my situation im guessing its hard to get a good deal in getting a loan, I am single, no debt or responsibilities , ideally i would like to start with a single family home but in the current market so high i would even consider condos/town homes.

What is your favorite metric (CoC, IRR, ROI, etc.) you are using when comparing your real estate investments to the stock market (or other more passive investment vehicles)?

For my wife and I, we would continue this process until 20% of the dividends exceeded our desired future living expenses, and donate a vast majority towards worthy causes.Lastly, we would also use a tax levered savings vehicle for the long-term “storage” of our money as well.

Leveraging WLI as a place to store excess cash, generating better returns/dividends than a savings account, AND taking a loan out for ANOTHER investment vehicle WHILE retaining your accounts interest/dividends seems like an advantageous setup for someone with the capital and discipline to do so.

It is becoming more and move of an investment vehicle and whether it is a good strategy can be debated, but there are definitely people making good deals from this strategy in my opinion.

They make a civic look like an off road vehicle.

I drive a 95 nissan pick-up, Paid for, good milege Why spend 50k on a fancy car that will go down in value ( not counting collector vehicles) I would rather spent 50k on a down payment on more real estate for more cash flow

That's if we're thinking strictly Houston, but for such a budget I'd put that money in a diff city or diff investment vehicle.
