Equity vs Cashflow - What's Your Stance?

[Eli Sorey]

Hey everyone, 

The title pretty much says it all. This came up in a recent BP podcast. Would you rather build equity in a strongly appreciating market so that you have the option to convert to cashflow later or build cashflow from the very beginning and scale it up over time? Or something else? 

Very curious to hear everyone's approach.

@Eli Sorey I like a balance... I wouldn't invest in an area with no appreciation, and I wouldn't invest if the property had no, or negative, cashflow.
