Hello Everyone,My name is Gary and I live in Suffield CT. 

I wish you much success in whatever market you ultimately choose....Gary

This way your equity even is giving you a return.Once your portfolio reaches critical mass, or you hit your target numbers or cash flow you can transition over to paying down debt to prepare for the final distribution phase.However, people need to retire at some point this is called your distribution phase, so when that time comes be sure the properties are paid off by that time to maximize cash flow in retirement.A great book on this topic and more is Gary Keller's  The Millionaire Real Estate Investor. 

Best of luck to you....Gary

I am audio listening to Millionaire investor by gary keller its good.

However, Great Lakes REIA is worthwhile because you will meet some good people, especially if you are looking for a windows guy (Chris W), or an insurance agent for investment property (Randy R), a local evictions attorney (Gary F), etc.

@Gary Lusso  I wish I could answer all your questions but I have no idea.
