The 3-path divergence
Both paths max the 401(k) with full employer match at a bullish 10%/yr return. The gap is entirely what happens to the tax bill every April.
Wealth Engine: Cost seg eliminates the tax bill. That capital buys the next DSCR property. Rent pays the mortgage. Equity builds. Repeat every 2 years.
Traditional: Taxes paid in full, home paid off in 30 years, 401(k) grows. Solid — but the tax drag compounds against you for 50 years.

Tax summary
Retirement income (traditional)
Every year, cost seg studies eliminate the tax bill. Savings redeploy into the next DSCR property. Rent covers the mortgage. Equity compounds. The portfolio grows without any additional out-of-pocket capital beyond what was already being paid in taxes.
