How does this comparison work?
โข ETF compounds monthly and dividends reinvested quarterly
โข Initial investment to ETF = property downpayment + closing cost
โข Dividend from ETF = rent from property
โข Monthly contribution to ETF = monthly out-of-pocket to property
โข When property cashflow turns positive, itโs used to pay down principal and recast the mortgage.
โข When property cashflow turns positive, you no longer put in money to the property, so the contribution to the ETF also stops.
