That’s why what stresses some people out is a piece of cake for others!

I'm from Anaheim, and have been working in the area for just around 4 years.

I have not raised rents since the day I bought them 10 years ago.but one tenant has been there the entire 10 years.. they were new homes so cap ex has been next to zero. granted I am probably 100 to 200 under market.. but what is 100 a month more going to do for me.. its about the long game and having your tenants payoff your house for you.I know people talk about cash flow as real and appreciation as icing on the cake.. in my mind cash flow is the icing on the cake.. if you get it great but if your tenant is paying your house off that to me is the ultimate goal.

That's like saying why eat one slice of cake when you can eat the whole cake, then go out and buy another cake and eat that whole cake too. 

For us new or soon to be Illinois investors, perspective takes the cake.

Didn’t beat the seller up on inspection report or care about this little thing or that little thing, I’m trying to find door #8 which will make me more money than worrying about a little thing on door #7.Year 1 cash on cash roi is just the icing on the cake.

The appreciation, paydown of principal with the tenant's rent, and tax benefits are just icing on the cake!

But for the icing on the cake, feast your eyes on what the Prudent man would invest in during times of rebuilding one's balance sheets, Treasury Bills.

It was a piece of cake.
