If you want real estate cash flow, you might be looking for it in the wrong place. Single-family rentals are great, but they aren’t the money-makers most people believe them to be. And EVEN if your rental property has a high cash-on-cash return, you could be leaving TONS of money on the table by not paying attention. Today, Chris Lopez is going to show you how to boost your cash flow WITHOUT buying more single-family rental properties.

Through four different scenarios, we’re running the actual numbers of how your cash flow will rise and fall, whether you pay off your rental, cash-out refinance, sell it and 1031, OR sell and reinvest into something different. You’ll quickly see how your cash-on-cash return number lies to you, making you THINK your properties are doing better than they really are.
