Investment/Money Triad
Generate Cash (Cash Flow Properties)
Accumulate Wealth (Buy and hold)
Keep As Much Of Both As Possible

Fixed rate of return
Play bigger (performance based)
Hybrid of both

The first that you ever want to do is generate cash and you can do that through a number of ways:

1. Day job – income
2. Cash flow
3. Commissions
4. other investing

The reasons to generate cash are to:

1. pay bills and maintain your life-style
2. take a portion of it and invest it and accumulate wealth.

The following are ways to accumulate wealth:

1. Buy and Flip Deals
2. Buy and hold deals

You will accumulate wealth based on growing over time or appreciation in properties (not off of cash flow – which generates tax bills)

And finally, the 3rd side of the Investment triad is to Keep Both: The trifecta in the money triad

1. Reducing your tax liability
2. Sructuring protective entities to protect assets from lawsuits.
