Is this a good decision?
Good Afternoon,
I am asking for advice from the more experience investors.
I brought 2 rented sfr. on land contract.
One is worth 145k the other one is worth 125k. I negotiated the price down to 180k for both of them with a 30k down payment. balance is 150k will pay them off in 8 years with an interest rate of 6.5%, my monthly payment is $1003.97
I have a 120k available and Im thinking of asking the seller if he will take the 120k, it will save me an extra 30k plus all the interest.

I would look into turning that 120k into 4 or 5 more properties that cash flow an additional 2-2.5k a month, thats where you missing the boat. It Will take you a 100 months to get your 120k back with just one property, more properties a fast return. Thats just the way I look at it.
