Yes that's what she wants to do. Can you elaborate more on the tax benefits of homeownership?

So my mom is closing in on her retirement and she's never owned a house before. My fear is that she'll have to work longer just to maintain her mortgage payments well after retirement. She planned on using money from her retirement account for a down payment, which also made me nervous. Is there a way she can use her 401k retirement money to purchase a few safe investments FIRST to build her asset portfolio so that all of her money isn't tied into just one house?

I planning to do my first BRRR strategy around next spring, but I wanted to make a few things clear first. I understand the basics up until after the refinance. Once we’re able to cash out after the new appraised amount was given, does our new 30 year (or however many year your loan is for) mortgage start from scratch? Ex. Buy for $50,000 Put down $10,000 Rehab $15,000 New value $90,000 Total invested $25,000 Cash out at 80% of value to have $72,000 in cash New loan ? I hope I’ve made sense of that. If I am missing something please correct me.
