They were not a good match for us but it never hurts to be polite and kind.)

I don't disagree I think it's a great option and it also allows you to use the money that your employer has matched if you think about it. 

The loss of priceless art, jewelry, autos, memorabilia and watches could often match or exceed the property values.

@Shakthi Kamal read copy and paste advice below.For cashflow, you'll be looking at mostly Class C properties/tenants.Be SURE you UNDERSTAND what this means or your expectations won't match reality!

You have to adjust your expectations to match current reality, which includes higher mortgage rates, higher prices, more expensive taxes and insurance, more competition, etc.
