Hugh, I was stating you should not pay someone rent and then go out and purchase a rental property. Personal financial growth requires eliminating as many liabilities (rent) in your life as possible and adding assets (positive cash flowing property).If you want a new car...look for a property to pay the bill. If you want to live for free...look for a property to support you, etc.
Well if I can get 3K a month then I will be very happy. I would be living like a king in Costa Rica!!!!
