Property prices and interest rates are high, while rents are lagging. Cash flow is both more important and harder to achieve than ever, even with our 88 strategies to improve and maximize cash flow.

Another question common rises to the top of the list: Is it better to buy rental properties with 20% down payments or to invest in stocks?

Buying rental properties with 20% down allows you to utilize leverage that will amplify both good and bad returns… so selecting your investment property will have a significant impact on your success or lack thereof.

To be fair, you could also leverage yourself investing in stocks—to a lesser degree—but we won’t be discussing that in this particular comparison class.

And owning rentals is a much more active strategy than passively investing in stocks. Is that extra work, worth the extra effort? How much better/worse is it?

In this special class, James will conduct a thorough comparison of the two strategies across 300 US markets, as the numbers vary depending on your local market's prices, rents, and income.

Which strategy—20% down or stocks—gives you a higher net worth? Which gets you to financial independence the fastest? Which is the safest, and which has the most risk? Plus much more.

After attending this class, you should have a much clearer understanding of whether you should seriously consider taking the extra time and effort to save up 20% down payments to acquire up to 10 rental properties or take the easier path of passively investing in the stock market.

This is a mini-class for real estate investors looking to buy a rental property in the next 90 days... despite:

  • High property prices
  • High mortgage interest rates, and
  • Lagging rents

A faster, easier, safer, and more profitable approach.
