(Obviously, there are circumstances that suggest to exit a property - other than to cash out - and those provide valid reasons.)I think SFR under 250k are like bitcoin - there is a finite amount, they cannot be made anymore. 

Everything has a certain degree of risk.The difference is the millionaires and billionaires take the most calculated risks possible and win more times than they lose.You cannot eliminate the risk only make it smaller.I agree on cash flow.Never pay based on POTENTIAL or PROJECTIONS.I can show you many developers that lost their shirts because they predicted x,y,z would happen when they built out their projects.In appreciation games it's a crap shoot.Some win and many you never hear about lose.Nobody wants to brag when they lose everything yet those are some of the most valuable stories to tell.I would also say with cash flow to watch out for CURRENT NUMBERS.

A guy was wanting advice, he was graduating from college, going to get a job and buy a used Lamborgini, then after it was paid for start buying real estate.......I consider that in the same line of thinking of "if you give me the promotion I will start working harder"I know one very well known Billionaire very well, at the time we were working together (ok he was chairman of the board and I was a director), he worked 18-19 hours a day.

Other capital is in riskier investments for long term growth (stocks, Bitcoin, etc).

I will say that from the few friends that I have that bought crypto that they are not billionaires yet so I would be hesitant.  

@Jay @Jay AdamsundefinedI agree that the calculation is easy and I am all for additional revenue streams, but if I am really looking for another revenue stream I would invest the money in the stock market, or buy notes with it, or bitcoin! 

Zuckerberg didn't graduate college and he is a billionaire.  

In the 2008 Collapse of our Economy, the Billionaires and Politicians etc. were buying up Farm Land.

I guess we are headed to Bit Coin then!

I recently rolled my roth into a self directed account as well and put it in a bitcoin mining syndication.
