    Cashflow vs. Equity-- Good idea to use more leverage?

    IDEA 
    Great point. I agree 100% that if you can put down 20% (minimum to avoid CMHC fees in Canada--which are now as much as 4%!), definitely do it. Not only do you avoid paying that premium, but it also will increase your cashflow considerably, as you can typically spread the term from a 25 year...

    Cashflow vs. Equity-- Good idea to use more leverage?

    IDEA 
    Hi guys, I think this is a great article for those just starting out in Real Estate investing. Gives a good contrast between the focus of building the most equity vs a "cashflow first" strategy. Cash Flow v. Equity: Which Helps Investors in the Long Run?

    The "Rat Race"...

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Great video. Sad and eye-opening of the darker side of the rate race and consumerism. Some more motivation for continuing fastlane pursuits!

    What's your Lambo? What's your WHY or PURPOSE?

    NOTABLE! CHAT 
    How does one decide when they’ve achieved “financial freedom”? I believe it’s ever-changing. I’ve hit my “financial freedom” goal twice so far, yet I wouldn’t at this point consider myself financially free. But that’s a good thing—as most of us are driven by progress. My lifestyle has improved...

    Risky RE Growth Opportunity

    REAL ESTATE 
    It'll be 5 years as of next February when I bought my first property. I always buy with cashflow as #1 priority followed by "options" I have with the actual property (can I subdivide it? is there development potential ie: building a carriage house? Can I stratify it?). The more options the more...

    Risky RE Growth Opportunity

    REAL ESTATE 
    What are you using to calculate the 20k/yr cash flow? If that’s “true” cash flow that’s an amazing deal and I would borrow, beg, or steal (joking ;) ) to get the cash to come up with it. That means (with 20% down) you’re getting nearly a 50% cash-on-cash return if you’re paying 200k or less...

    Really late to the party on this. There doesn't seem to be a lot of Real Estate related content so far. Here's some of what I could cover: - Build wealth exponentially buying small multi-family (2-4 unit) properties - Strategies to maximize cashflow and minimize risk - How to calculate...

    My opinion is Real Estate (if you do it right), but don't listen to me. This video from Warren Buffer sums it up perfectly:

    All of the content of I've seen from you so far is really bad and poor quality. The majority of people watching your videos don't like them, and you also have very little views. Why do you continue down a path that's clearly not working for you?

    Leverage: A good strategy or a slippery slope?

    The best thing I did was joining a group of like-minded investors at a Real Estate brokerage (as a Realtor). One of them there mentored me to pull the trigger on my first one. I was reading books years prior but never actually put pen to paper--so I'd say joining a local investment group or...

    Leverage: A good strategy or a slippery slope?

    I'll elaborate on my post a bit with my own personal experience. I buy cash-flow producing rental properties and have been a Realtor as long as I have been investing in properties. I got my license and started investing in Real Estate about 4 1/2 years ago. At that time, I had literally no...
