Episode notes
Prioritize Based On Life Stage
- Investors often want both cash flow and appreciation but must prioritize based on life stage and goals.
- Younger investors can lean toward appreciation while retirees should prioritize immediate cash flow.
Use 1031s To Reposition For Cash Flow
- Use 1031 exchanges to defer capital gains and redeploy equity into replacement properties that fit goals.
- Consider using less leverage or 50% down to improve near-term cash flow for retirees.
Do Annual Portfolio Health Checks
- Evaluate your portfolio at least once a year to spot underperformers and lazy equity.
- Calculate return on equity and consider repositioning if cash flow is low relative to invested equity.
