Hi Kelly, cash flow pays the day to day bills and some money in your pocket. You’ll need a lot of these to retire on. Say you cash flow $300 a door. At 20 doors that is $6000 a month. Not bad income, but I think you should shoot for $10,000 a month at a minimum. That’s basically 34 doors.
The appreciation part is the bonus. If you think about it in 7-10 years you will probably have at a very conservative number $100,000 in appreciation including mortgage pay down for each unit/building. That’s 3.4 million. That’s how you build generational wealth in a relatively short time.

What do you base your numbers on? Specifically, the 7-10 year $100k appreciation, and the $300/month per door CF. Also, how does the timeline to 20 doors, or even 34 doors, coincide with the 7-10 years to $100k in appreciation?
Every property l purchased over the years was required to cash flow. That said I expected appreciation as well. My buy box didn't allow for property in areas that don't appreciate.
There can be many problems with a purely cash flow or appreciation orientation. Neither would be sustainable for me. You have to ask why is there little to no appreciation on cash flow deal. The answers usually mean added risk such as safety, dwindling population, poor economic conditions or some other risky scenario.
