There surely are more than just a couple schools of thought when it comes to using real estate as a vehicle to get them to an abundant retirement. The two that almost always garner most of the attention are Buy & Hold for cash flow from Day 1, and Capital Growth First THEN a transition to cash flow upon anticipation of imminent retirement.
Will either one get you there? Yep.
The real question is — do you want your Social Security check to be used for groceries, or spending money? And yeah, I know, what SS check? 🙂
Proponents of the Buy & Hold school are from the Old Old School. Don’t try to talk them outa their strategy. Show their results side by side with the Capital Growthers though, and they really get loud.
I urge you to check out a comparison I’ve done over at my place. Caveat: It’s over 1,600 words of reading. It goes into clear detail. So far, folks who’ve read it, have been pleasantly surprised at how much solid info they understood and can now apply.
If you’re a real estate investor, or wanna be one, this ‘case study’ is for you.
Merry Christmas!
