Case Study: $1.7M Home To $1M Equity
- A $1.7M home appreciating 3.5% annually plus principal paydown could yield roughly $1M equity in 10 years.
- That plan requires a ~$52,000 down payment and huge monthly payments near $11,300.

- Consider house hacking to accelerate equity: buy a modest home, rent part of it, and invest rental proceeds.
- Account for vacancies, maintenance, and required monthly cash cushions before relying on rental income.

- Flipping yields average gross gains (~$72k) but requires many deals, capital for down payments, and accurate profit accounting.
- Replicating flips is hard due to transaction friction and market cycles.
