That I mean, yeah, I think it's a great idea.
podcast-host
It just comes down to two things.
podcast-host
You know, we had this earlier in a conversation in the Rich Habits Network.
podcast-host
Someone said, Well, I want to buy more rentals, but does it make sense, or should I just put that cash in the stock market?
podcast-host
Personal finance is personal.
podcast-host
And I question myself every day because I own a lot of real estate.
podcast-host
Is it worth it to have rentals?
podcast-host
But you have to think of it this way: you have cash flow, you have appreciation.
podcast-host
You have the mortgage buy down.
podcast-host
So there are multiple ways to make money, but what you have to calculate is what is your all-in blended return, that cash on cash return, if you keep this as a rental, versus simply taking it and putting it into VOO or QQQM?
podcast-host
And that is the billion-dollar question for everyone out there that wants to have diversification through real estate, but also doesn't want to leave.
podcast-host
much money on the table.
podcast-host
And I don't have the mathematical answer because I don't know the zip code or what the rental rate is in this area.
podcast-host
But it's definitely something everyone needs to question because owning rentals always sounds fun, but it is work.
podcast-host
It's not fully passive until you get to five or 10 rentals and you can hire a team.
podcast-host
But in the beginning with one rental, you're going to have to either go mow the lawn or hire a lawn guy.
podcast-host
You're gonna have to keep up on the roof and all those things.
podcast-host
So Austin, I think it's a great, great question.
podcast-host
I'm probably the wrong person because I love real estate, because I can touch it, feel it, and see it appreciate.
podcast-host
But you're right as well on the math when it comes to just putting it in the stock market, letting it ride and not have the hassles of a rental property.
