The low interest rate, consistent increase in equity, and potential for cash flow.

Mortgage is $500, rents for $1,450Between just the two rental properties we have somewhere in the neighborhood of $150-200k in equity.

After 10 years:1) A flipper will have a nice chunk of money in a retirement account but will have to keep flipping to eat.2) A buy and hold investor will be able to retire and will be making the equivalent of 100k per year with about 1mil in equity in their homes.

If I purchased with lease a house for 200k, and 7 years go by and 100k in equity, can I purchase the property for 100k then retail it, or, could I assignment my lease contract to another investor?

This doesn't take into account a cash out refi and the fact that if the market value is 100K and the purchase price was only 75K, then you have 25K in equity right off the bat.

I own a business that is successful but drains me daily and I would love to create financial freedom to do what I love and have more time for my family.I currently own a home that has about $200,000 in equity. 

With about $150K in equity you are only looking at about $200/mo in cash flow, giving you a 1.6% return on equity. 

I can see in California at least where rents are minimal but the market shoots way up in equity value and when they sell they get a big payoff.In areas of low to no appreciation and long eviction times with tenant friendly states I do not see what the draw is.

We currently have around 175K in equity in our house we are willing to access some of it utilizing a HELOC but we want to get connected with investors that can help us walk through this! 

If the market stays where its at and we stay on budget for the remodel each of these three properties will probably have $40-$50k worth of equity.So in theory by May 2024 I should have about $250,000 in equity and all 5 properties (14 doors). 1 loan in my personal name I want to transfer into my LLC, one with a regular investor loan and three with loans that I will have to refinance by March 2025 anyways.
