If done right most of these gains are tax-free- $40K in equity capture (profit) with $20K out of pocket and 13% cash on cash thereafter (300%+ returns)- $24K of equity capture with $32K out of pocket and 36% cash on cash returns thereafter (75%+ returns)- $41K of equity capture with $27K out of pocket and 12% cash on cash returns thereafter (150%+ returns)None of the above numbers include loan pay-down or appreciation. 

Various other societies have more or less income and living inequality but none can counteract human nature, which is why some form of capitalism is inevitable.3.

I have about $300k in equity (based on a BPO performed in July 2023) but no cash.

Quote from @Jenni Utz: You have that built-in equity on the deals that are off-market.

Every single cabin I build is a deal I'm going to add 150k or more in equity (I've done a couple of larger ones that have 200k to 300k in equity) and anywhere from 5k to 10k a year in net profit by year 2. 

I currently own my primary residence and have about 60k in equity.

I think it comes in equities before RE though. 1)Don't buy for the sake of it.

Quote from @Yents Ybrimovic: @Nicholas L.I'm recieving the exact 1:1 in equity..

Like you said in your post, "Buying and holding is a long term strategy...............focus on the end goal"The second reason for trying to get good deals is that if you can get a 10-20% built in equity off the bat, it has the advantage of:- taking a big part of the risk factor off the table- built in equity that can be utilized as required- better cash flowThere are a lot of people on BPs that say that "money is made on the front end in RE".

we did that except instead of renovating it we knocked the existing home down and built a new primary. right after we were completed we had $500k in equity as we acted as the GC on the project.
