Whether it says Passive LP, creative financing, fix and flipping, notes, Short Term Rentals, seller financing  etc - I am at the bottom - I can scream no but I far too often hear stories of people quitting their job to pursue real estate and then end up very unsuccessful. 

Real estate is often described as a 3 legged stool... with cash flow, appreciation, and mortgage pay-down all acting as legs that let you build your wealth.Plenty of people will say, equity plays are fine... and they can be.... but they come with higher risks than a property that cash-flows where you have extra income every month to help pay the bills.
