At the same time, my life situation woul lean me more towards a super passive income stream and $5M to start can go far in the more passive path.If I was in a position to prioritize wealth building and growth, I woul definitely go with RE.Heck, my ATT, 3M, and Ketchup has been losing massive stock value... but their are awesome because the dividends keep on coming in.

Estimating equity values other than principal reduction is speculation, you can't hold that until you sell or refi it which will then change that matrix.The question is more to the present value of an annuity stream on a lower monthly basis or that of lump sums being received over time or a combination of both.

I hate the idea of throwing salt everywhere and having it wash away into the streams.

This can save you time and money on property maintenance.Amenities: Many condos come with amenities like gyms, pools, and security services that can be attractive to potential renters and can help you command higher rents.Location: Condos are often located in desirable urban or suburban areas, providing easy access to job centers, shopping, and entertainment, which can attract tenants and appreciate in value.Rental Income: Renting out one or more units can help you cover your mortgage and potentially generate positive cash flow.Steady Demand: In areas with high demand for housing, condos can provide a consistent stream of rental income.Potential for Appreciation: Condo values can appreciate over time, potentially increasing your overall return on investment.Cons:HOA Fees: While HOA fees cover maintenance, they can be costly and eat into your rental income.

During the next 5 years I plan to keep investing in small multi families for a steady form of cash flow while also moving into a larger market of 20-50 unit properties that will be staggered for a constant stream of both cash flow and income though sales as the goal will be to improve these properties and then sell at a profit.

Hi, I have been using prop stream, driving for dollars and other lists.

Water streamed in through the light fixtures and vents during the storm and whenever it rained in the days and weeks to follow. 

Unless there will be changes in the income stream over the projected holding period I.e. large upside upon unit turn over, value add, etc...

There are softwares like prop stream that allow you to see what owners purchased properties with cash, and below market value.

If someone were tagging a lot of properties, then chances are we'd get a deal going and I wouldn't have to worry about compensating them just for their time.That's my stream of thought.
