Cash flow vs appreciation is one of the longest-running debates in real estate — and most investors are asking the wrong question.

In this episode, I break down the real difference between cash flow and appreciation, why I personally prioritize cash-flowing properties, and how cash flow has allowed me to reinvest, compound, and scale my portfolio faster.

I walk through:

• What cash flow actually is (and what most people forget to include)

• How appreciation works — and why it’s often misunderstood

• A real example from my first deal and how cash flow funded my next properties

• Why I believe cash flow earns the right to chase appreciation

• My long-term plan to build to $50K/month in cash flow before shifting strategies

If you’re early in your investing journey — or starting without outside capital — this episode will help you think more clearly about how to build sustainable, long-term wealth through real estate.
