As my rich Uncle G says: “Don’t buy a house to live in until you can afford 5 of them.”

And as I’ve detailed before, your personal residence is not included in your effective net worth. They don’t care how much your home is worth because it’s illiquid.

20 years ago, I bought my first home to live in. One of the biggest financial mistakes of my life. $100K removed from my asset column for the down payment and not working for me for 11 years because I wasn’t thinking with my net worth.

Now today I do own quite a bit of real estate, but I don’t own the place that I live in. Every door owned generates cash flow and sits in the asset column.

Lesson learned

Good luck
