Someday when I'm as Baller as you, I hope to meet you and buy you a drink.

It is a very high cost of living and my landlord has been renting out the triplex for a little below market value for the past few years, however he is going to be selling the property ( all three units)  (This area is considered very nice and "shouldn't" depreciate in value. )I have been trying to deep dive into bigger pockets, reading bigger pocket books, watching videos but  a lot of the resources talk about multi-family properties as purely renting out all units and not actually living in one of the units. 

Or does it purely my choice of whether I want cash flow or equity build? 

Approach this from a purely appreciation and not cash flow standpoint.

If you're purely only interested in Cashflow - look into Cleveland.

Stop hanging out with your deadbeat buddies that spend all day drinking, talking sports, and otherwise wasting away.

Let's say you DO try to do Real Estate as a "pure investment".

Hi Doraine,If you look at a pure investment, I’m not sure it’s gonna be profitable.

Is this arrangement purely tagging onto Tom's reputation?
