I'll miss my 401k when I retire in June; my employer matches up to 25% so needless to say I've been maxing out the last 6 years.
That is an awesome match.I'll miss my 401k when I retire in June; my employer matches up to 25% so needless to say I've been maxing out the last 6 years.
Gonna suck on those months you have no renters.Be careful with some of those investment funds they manipulate the numbers where it makes it look like you are making more interest than you really are, I've never had very good luck with them long term. I'm getting into rent houses, got a great deal on a nice 30 year old 1750 sf brick home in a good neighborhood for $120K and put a little into fixing it up and it rented right away for $1350/month. My payment is $845/mo and if I put the entire amount towards principal it will be paid for in 9 years and the house currently appraises at $160K.

Should NEVER leverage a mortgage for rental income.
True but the gamble there is real. I dont like being leveraged.Oh I wouldn't say never. I know two guys that have about 8 to 10 million in property, mostly single family homes and that's how they started. It's just like any other type of investment, if you play your cards right you'll do well.

Like mortgaging a home to invent the money in Stocks.
Same thing.
Very risky.
If the bank sells your loans and the new owner calls your loan, your foreclosing. Happens a lot.
A bank can call the loan at anytime. Not sure how thats even legal but they do it. Happens a lot when a bank is leveraged to high and at risk of failing.If someone buys the loan, they cannot alter the original loan document from what I understand, so if you make your payment, you'll be fine.

I'm not sure.I thought they could do that on a LOC but not conventional?
