FAQs



How do the cash flow patterns differ between these two approaches?


The discussion suggests that with 401k investing, you're taking money out of your monthly budget for decades, while with rental real estate, you might receive monthly cash flow from tenants who also pay down your mortgage over time.



 



What role does leverage play in real estate investing?


The conversation explains that you can use bank financing to control valuable real estate assets with smaller down payments, which differs from retirement accounts where you must contribute the full amount gradually over time.



 



What anniversary events are mentioned?


There's a 35th anniversary road tour with a Dallas event scheduled for September 13-14, plus a case study evening on September 11 where you can meet and ask questions of other investors.
