What a 401(k) Doesn’t Do for Cash Flow
from The Del Walmsley Radio Show · host Del Walmsley
Del Walmsley responds to a listener’s question about choosing between a 401(k) and rental real estate by outlining the long-term realities of both paths. He explains that while 401(k)s are promoted for automatic payroll deductions and employer matches, they depend on decades of personal contributions and are eventually taxed. In contrast, rental real estate allows tenants to pay down debt, generate ongoing cash flow, and benefit from appreciation. His message is simple: leverage, unlimited growth potential, and tax efficiency make rental real estate a far more powerful vehicle for building wealth and sustaining retirement income than a 401(k).
