You're going to generate cashflow.

You can achieve real estate outcomes with a stock bond portfolio or REITs, these other types of things.

But I like to have the complete control that comes with real estate.

And I do think you can accelerate what I just discussed by a couple percentage points if you buy right.

In certain of these cases, you understand what you're doing, you keep your properties fully occupied and well-maintained, and you bother to invest in those mental models.

So I think that's the core component.

And then, of course, at the beginning of a journey, what real estate really is powerful for is the leverage component, right?

All those returns are amplified because of that leverage.

So that by buying four times the property instead of buying a paid-off property, if I get 3% appreciation, I'm going to actually get a 12%.

yield on my equity component.

I'm going to be paying down the mortgage at the same time, and I'm going to be harvesting any cashflow that comes out of the property.

But again, it's not going to produce a 30 or 40% compounding annual return like you can get in business, but it can do better than the stock market, especially with leverage.

And at the end of your journey, you may find it easier to spend cashflow like I do from the portfolio compared to other alternatives.

So I think those are the cases for investing in real estate.

And then the last point I'll make is if you're a median income earning American or upper middle class American, you want to jumpstart your wealth creation, you're going to find it really hard to do entrepreneurship or really make significant side income.

The best part of your day is spent on your work.

for the most part.

And housing is one of those few levers that can really amplify this journey.

And two great tools are gonna be the house hack, where you move into a duplex or whatever and have your rent subsidized portion of the mortgage, or the live-in flip.

If you want something a little nicer, for example, you can move into a property, fix it up, and let's say you buy a $600,000 house that needs a lot of work in Metro Denver, for example.
