I understand the mindset of "telling yourself your going to work till 65" if you match your companies 401k, however am I wrong in thinking that even if you cash it out early and pay the 10% penalty and taxes, even not taking compound interest into consideration you are still well ahead?

Is 5% the annual interest rate or is the ROI compounded (30% ROI for six month investment)?

It's only going to compound over time but I see house prices falling at least that just to get back to normal or expected levels.

Upgrading the building to first class living space with amenities such as super high speed internet, (Fiber optics), state of the art security surveillance system, etc.I would fence the whole compund and have a pedestrian bridge built overpassing the street, from the college grounds directly into the compound area.

Quick-set compound(45,20,5. minute) is stronger than your regular compound.

They have these little blackflies they call borrachudos (bow-ha-shoe-dose) that you can't even feel biting you so a bunch will get your legs before you know it.

Compound interest always seems painfully slow in the beginning, until it reaches a critical mass and interest upon interest starts accumulating, then things can really take off (in a good way).

The compounding wealth impact of that forced appreciation, cash flow, perpetual principle pay down (and long-term market appreciation, to a lesser extent) allow some investors to not have to worry or focus heavily on all the ....flations mentioned (it provides more freedom from those concerns or uncertain market forces).

My gut tells me the cash flow gain over 5 years of rising MFH rents won't hold a candle to 150K a year (compounding each year too so really more each year) worth of capital gains via appreciation I get with SFH. 

@Steve Vaughan  well I could wrap that all up in a bow and charge 3990.00 for that earth shattering information.. as such it would make sure that your profitable so you too can make 40k a month and be in the Bahama's before you know it.
