I was able to rent the property by room and it cash flows about $200/month so far.

Markets have increased considerably over the past 4 years and most of my buildings have also increased in value by about $300,000.

If you’re looking to make real estate your new job and to earn cash now to use and live on like a job, then go for cash flow.

And not to mention no stock matches the dividend rate one can get in real estate with such low risk/volatility. 20yrs ownership, oh-yeah, cash-flow on renting it would be HUGE now so it's easily comparable to a 20%+ monthly dividend, if not more.

What the investor will have is a long term appreciating asset; that will provide an increasing cash flow as rental rates increase, and steady amortization as the note is paid down.  

Retaining your current home at a 2.875% mortgage rate maximizes cash flow, while accessing $65K in equity provides liquidity for your next steps.

You are hopefully getting good cash flow, appreciation, mortgage paydown and tax benefits.   

I own 4 two/three flats bought between 2013 and 2020 in Forest Park, Illinois, at low interest rates and prices in 200000's  They cash flow nicely and prices have increased a lot. 

Solopeneur for now until I get my first few deals flowing, then looking to scale a team.

Looking to broaden my lead flow.
