今天突然想透了一點。前一正一直想how to earn positive cash flow on rental property.
周末又嫌，拜讀許多投壇大作，esp BayFamily's 多篇文章，突然明白以前太靜態考慮rental property investment 的問題。
For example, currently, you can buy a $150k house with down payment $50k, if you can get 10% cash flow, which will be $5k a year. Not a bad investment, right?
If you buy 6 of such houses, then you need $300k cash and your possitive cash flow can be $30k/a year.
這個周末之前，我的思維模式一直停在這 $30k/a year rental income.
可是 what if each house appreciate $100k in five years? In 10 years?
Then, you six houses can bring you $600k appreciation in 5 years or 10 years.
Wow, 我為這想法感到非常激動，忍不住拿出來現醜了。
Worst case, if no appreciation, or if appreciation is very slow, you still get to keep your $300k in house equity plus rental income $30k/ a year.
我覺得這比花街投資好太多了。大家覺得樂？
