My cash flow is modest only because I have extracted value.  

The longer this drags out, the more psychic energy, money and time it will extract from you. 

. $240,000 worth of equity.My wife has a duplex with over $500,000 worth of equity in the small town of Grand Marais. we are both looking at extracting equity from these properties and purchasing  duplex townhomes adjacent to each other. 12 bedrooms four bathrooms total.

However if I do a BRRRR I can achieve infinite return by extracting all of my investment.

Todays tyrant is no longer a red coat who will put a bayonett in your face and extract tax from you, it is a banker or corporate executive who will use the system to rob you!

However, if you are able to extract a large amount of money and reinvest in two properties then the value of money and appreciation would be for two properties instead of one property.

@Gaya Ben SimonThe classic methods of this era to start generating off-market leads are the cold calling/texting combo, which revolve around extracting data from services like PropStream, ListSource, etc...Skip tracing them and then cold calling/texting them with the endless amount of scripts that circulate this industry.

Granted after a refi it was not good cash flow but I had just extracted a large amount of money tax deferred and the way the rules are today it is possible that extracted money will never be taxed (1031, step up basis at death).

Prudent financial planning suggests setting a threshold ROE as a goal.When your ROE drops below your threshold, it signals the time to extract “trapped” equity and place it into another investment with a higher return.
