A very good point.handyandy said:In some way it is a very limiting question, which if answered and you believe that answer, will limit your growth.
I would hope that everybody anwered 50+ as this answer says 'the sky's the limit', not because everybody necessarily wants 50+ properties but whybuild a limit in your mind.
But is the limiting belief limiting yourself just to IPs?
The Cashflow game looks at property, shares, and businesses- although most businesses come in when one is in the fast track (which is the position you were in).
Even in that game, concentrating on Cashflow- capital gain was very important. It's often a capital gain which gives one the resources to cash up and to buy into the big deals- the ones which get you out of the realm of the tiny little cashflow deals which will take you forever to get out of the rat race.
