When I first got started in real estate, I didn’t have a lot of money to support my deals. And honestly, that was difficult. A lot of people didn’t want to work with me because they were worried about the lack of capital. I understood why, they were looking at the risk from their perspective. At that point, I realized something important: Knowing how to find a property is only one part of real estate. Understanding the strategy behind the deal is just as important. Luckily, I attended a real estate event where I met someone who was willing to share strategies and show me a different way of looking at deals. Those lessons helped shape many of the strategies I use today. One of the biggest things I learned is that not every property has to serve the same purpose. Some properties can provide positive cash flow today. The important question isn't always: “Which one is better?” It’s: “Which one makes sense for MY goals?” If you need income today, cash flow may be more important. If you're focused on building wealth over the next 10–20 years, appreciation may carry more weight. And if you're just getting started, understanding the difference can help you look at opportunities differently. I'm curious about your perspective: If you had to choose one today, would you prioritize monthly cash flow or long-term capital growth, and why? There’s no right answer. I’d love to hear how everyone thinks about it.
