Cash flow is nothing but a yield generated by a pile a cash. "</i> What if instead I said?: "Cash flow is nothing but a yield generated by a pile of equity and leverage and tax benefits. " Am I wrong? Cash is not equity until monetized. I'd hate to be the guy who takes out new debt on moribund SoCal real estate property to use that cash. Much smarter to actually cash out and redeploy don't you think? Your post doesn't make that distinction. One of those times where we almost agree and need to hash out the details.

Good news is yer 2 miles up, so homers are a lot easier to hit. Bad news is, ya gotta run after ya homer. I’m thinkin’ cornfields would get kinda boring after awhile. :)

That baseball field is so much more interesting than the ones here in Iowa. I would rather see beautiful mountains while I'm batting than an endless row of corn anyday! But then again, the pastures are always greener on the other side. ;) AMEN!!! That baseball field is so much more interesting than the ones here in Iowa.
