If your goal was to accumulate as much wealth in your younger years would you suggest flipping and rehabbing?

Being a sophomore in college, and working part time, it has been hard to accumulate a large savings.

The one main difference that I see is that the most experienced sponsors have a very enthusiastic investor base that they have accumulated over many years.

As you mentioned, I feel that similar think are also happening in San Diego, although there is definitely less accumulation of wealth as we have had in the Bay Area.

But many are actually closer to 4% caps once you take into consideration deferred maintenance that most also accumulated.

When you do so, you can take the tax-sheltered savings you have accumulated in your employer 401(k) and move that to a retirement plan of your own choosing. 

So, if investors are accumulating various forms of debt to accumulate assets it is critical to track their net asset position, otherwise it can lead to bankruptcy if large amounts of debt are taken out irresponsibly.

Even if you are break-even cashflow after the BRRR, you are building up equity horizontally by accumulating houses for "free".

This definitely wouldn’t help...but they had accumulated quite some debt from the revitalization project, it seems 

@Mijin KimRetirement accounts are great vehicles for accumulating wealth tax deferred.
