USING ALL OF OUR SAVINGS TO BUY STR

[Shannon Smith]

We have $100,000 savings in the bank. We found an amazing and unique $500,000 house with 5,000 taxes. We can put 10% down and with closing costs spend about $75,000. We will easily spend the remaining $25,000 in misc furnishings, paint, etc. We will have to live off of our checking account and the income from this house for one year until we get a bonus check from work. This house is already generating $3,000 per month on just 1 of the bedrooms in a 5 bedroom house. I feel like it’s such a great investment cash flow wise so we shouldn’t pass it up…but I’m super nervous given we’d be spending all of our savings right now. What would you do?
