I’m a fan of harvesting the equity to buy more and more cash flowing properties with zero out of pocket cash for down payments.

It's hard to harvest equity on these plays, unless you commit, long-term, towards very light leverage, as the only practical ways to benefit from the equity in your portfolio, if you plan to never sell it, only exchange it, for a lifetime, are to spend the cash flow, or cash out refi.

At harvest time.  60 trees per acre.  

The overall value of the land and potential subdivision and the harvested lumber will be 10 times the original cost.  

I bought 14 houses basically for free by harvesting the equity in my houses by doing 5 cash out refis.

Because it allows you to "harvest" the accumulated gain or loss for tax purposes while still holding the investment.

But, if the $100k is coming in from a $3,000 acre from which has already been harvested $20,000 in TDR credits, that's not a bad ROI.

I was willing to pay a higher upfront cost and sacrifice a greater monthly cash flow to achieve these top two priorities.We landed on a SFR in Harvest, AL.

More people are buying in the Owens Cross Roads, Harvest & Meridianville areas because you get more bang for your buck.
