So basically $2M annually.So I could spend $200k and make $24,000 in a year, or I could spend $200k and make $2M in a year.

The high appreciation market will be the higher cash flow market over the hold.  

My approach balances both—ensuring that my investments generate income while also appreciating in value over time.

If you wanna come over and pick our Fields and build our  houses you’re more than welcome to come over.

If you're lucky enough to get a free and clear property where the seller is willing to finance, this reduces much of the risk associated with seller-finance.I would make sure the title is then moved over to your name, especially since there is not a risk of a due-on-sale clause being triggered.

If you decide to sell, you will only have paid a little more in interest over the remaining time that you are in your home.   

I would choose a cabin over that 9/10 times.

@Lincoln Waite Here is a great example of over complicating things into a net loss. 

Over the next 7-10 years, these properties will fluctuate up and down in value based on the current economy; however, real estate will move up and to the right over time. 

Sometimes we structure a”kicker” where if the property sells for over a certain amount we earn part of that.
