Successful House Hack

In 2011 I bought a small duplex in Provo, Utah for 126k with 8k down.  My wife and I lived in it for 2 years and then moved to Texas.  Since moving it has cash flowed about 3.5k/year.  Now it is worth 200!  Soon we plan to sell and get into a property with more units.

@Walt Harston  

8k investment, returning 3.5k a year, 50k plus in equity. 5 year time frame

It's the beauty of income property.  I love it! Well done. 

I wonder how that would compare to the stock market over the last 5 years...
