Forced Appreciation: Forced appreciated can happen several ways. The typical route is through rehabbing and re-branding the property which allows rental income/property value to increase.

Equity Build: Equity build happens every month when the mortgage payment is paid and principal is reduced, thus capturing more equity in the property and reducing debt.

Cashflow: This is the difference between all the income and expenses at the end of each month. This is typically where net profit distributions are paid out of.

Tax Advantages: This certainly isn't tax advice and you should consult your CPA, but some real estate investments offer income tax avoidance through things like write-offs and depreciation

Natural Appreciation: This is the natural inclination for housing and other types of real estate to grow in property value over time.
