I'm hoping that some of these newbies who think this is some easy get rich quick gig come here and read the real world experiences illustrated here.  

This approach illustrates how leveraging equity can facilitate deals without the need for refinancing or additional payments.

Frankly speaking we just don't have the population dynamics or the geographic constraints that it would take to produce a true PoP investment strategy like you can find in Tier 1 metros or quickly growing 2nd and 3rd tier metros with geographic barriers.To illustrate this, I would recommend driving down each street between NW 10th and NW30th, from May to Classen and back. 

Their could be all types of scenarios where you don't refinance or don't sell, but all things being even and assuming we are making decisions based on the right market scenario, you've illustrated the power of using the 30-yr. mortgage to its full advantage.I don't use 20% down because of the points charged by GSE to reduce the 25% down to 20%.  

Rents go up a heck of a lot more than expenses do.As a quick illustration - my current "oldest" property is a 3 unit I purchased in North Beacon Hill in late 2016.

Here's my primary reasons:Expenses disproportionately impact lower rent collecting properties For illustration purposes compare two identically designed 1+1 duplexes in the same market.  

Plus they also write blog posts to illustrate their investing style.At the end of the day, you aren't convincing people to invest in MF, by the time they get to you they most likely have already made that choice.

This illustrates the power of creativity in financing!!!

Can you provide any examples of what a tax-favorable investment might look like to illustrate your point?  

My analogy wasn't trying to be precise, or something to be dissected from 100 different angles, it was trying to illustrate ONLY that one simple point: If you deal with it, it's not a big deal...
