Real Estate Returns Explained
- Real estate investing returns come from three dimensions: income, equity, and appreciation.
- These dimensions generate both realized (cash flow) and unrealized (equity growth and appreciation) gains.
Stick to Proven Strategies
- Follow proven real estate investment strategies and methods to succeed.
- Avoid speculative investments or undesirable neighborhoods for safer returns.
Example: $100k Property Returns
- Buying a $100,000 property with $20,000 down and $200 monthly cash flow can yield a 12% cash on cash return in year one.
- Combining cash flow, loan amortization, and 4% appreciation leads to a 38% total first-year return.
