Cashflow vs Wealth Building
- Cashflow is your target but wealth building is the pathway to achieve it.
- Simply stacking cashflow units without strategic planning leads to high risk and management complexity.
Use Wealth Goals Over Units
- Set a wealth goal and work backwards to determine needed properties instead of aiming for many units.
- Use rules like the 6% rule to estimate the equity required to achieve your cashflow goal.
Find Your Focus and Phase
- Identify your investing phase: starter, builder, or harvester to select fitting strategies.
- Assess your weekly time availability to pick appropriate real estate investment activities.
