Should a rental property put cash in your pocket each month or build serious wealth over time? Cash flow versus appreciation is the oldest debate in real estate investing, but the answer depends on several factors. Today, you'll learn how to pick the path that fits your goals and get the most out of your investments!
Welcome back to another Rookie Reply! We’re tackling three questions straight from the BiggerPockets Forums. First up, an investor who wants to house hack a small multifamily home is torn between cheaper towns with more cash flow and pricier towns with more appreciation. We have the answer!
Next, a high-income earner is weighing multiple investing strategies, from Section 8 and the BRRRR method to value-add deals and sober living facilities. Ashley and Tony go head-to-head on the best next step forward. Finally, a broker wants to learn the investor side of real estate, from acquisition to exit, before putting her own money on the line–and we discuss what to look out for when getting started!
