I have a property in Peoria that doesn't do much equity-wise, but is a cash cow in rental rate, and there is always a line out front when it does turnover.So, it really will depend on your goals. 

I liked the flexibility it provided me and their material was very easy to digest with videos and study guides.

My first property was a good learning experience, but definitely was not a cash cow or huge equity earner.

Through experience with the Family Court and the new cash cow of each state now, known as CSE Child Support Enforcement, I understand how you come up with your statement or conclusion.But, from being a non-custodial parent and the American economy situation, (unemployment, lay-offs, poverty, homelessness etc. etc. etc…) causing arrearages in court ordered CS payments, it is the CSE with the support of Family Courts that put you on the streets.

Sorry Roy, We in Toronto had milked all we could out of this cow, we are kliing eachother for a peace of 100 year old property selling for 700K that needs a total gut and 100K of renos and paying 150K over asking price, competing with 10 other people on the same property.But think about the positive side of it, we are going to start buying where you live and your properties are going to appreciate like never before because of the competition, free money without working, isn't that nice?

Welcome @Jeremy Isaac , be sure to check out the learn section above, it loaded with great information, it took me months to digest it all.

While it won't be a cash cow, I think it could help you get closer to your goal of trading up from this to your dream farm in the future..

@Ed Navarro link upwith your local REIA group, a landlord group in your area, agents and all the forum post and podcast you can digest on multifamily investing.

Little has changed as far as tenant quality and effective rents.5-The best money made in 4 plexs's are the ones in the path of progress where they are bought up by developers and torn down.6-Be very wary of any property that is on a street named after a major US city.7- Its great to have a dream, however nightmares prevail and I have seen it in the eyes of people walking in our office every year begging to help them get out of a building.8-in this market where a great return is hard fought to obtain, why would a seller walk away from a 25% ROI cash cow? 

Lots of info here, just set up key word alert and read recent forum posts, it will overfill you but digest and think it all through.
