Cash Flow Investment

Cash Flow Investment means some cash comes in regularly β€” whether monthly, quarterly, or some other time frame.

The goal is to have it flow in a way that you can live on it.

The author’s goal is cash flow within the first month. For some investments, that goal isn’t realistic. The first distribution might not be for a quarter or longer. But for new investors, it’s optimal to invest in a way that provides some cash flow immediately.

The author says, his end goal for each of his investments depends on the specifics of the deal and how collateralized the investment isβ€” meaning how secure and safe the principal investment is.

However, He says, “I like to get my principal back as quickly as possible because often my equity position would remain the same, even after my initial principal has been repaid. I want that principal back to reinvest in other deals.”

“For me, the ideal scenario is that I get the principal back in one to two years.” β€” Donald, Justin

Real Estate Investment

Location and structure are important when investing in real estate. Focusing on good location can reduce risk.

For example, you don’t want to be an investor in a town with only one major employer.

Invest in large cities with large populations and strong economic growth. Consider a couple of key indicators that typically lead to having a strong occupancy, such as a market with a wide array of large employers, strong healthcare providers, and several good educational programs and universities.

Key Takeaways

  • Cash Flow Investment goal is cash comes to you within the first month.

  • Also, you want to invest in assets where principal comes back quickly, and you maintain your same equity position.
