Post: 15 year fixed or 30 year fixed?

Hi Ying, 

It makes more sense to have a lower payment on a 30 yr fixed just to mitigate risk, potentially gain higher cash flow, etc. 

It's nice to pay off the mortgage in 15 years, but if it's a rental and someone else is making my payment for me anyway, then I'd rather have a lower payment to be safer. 


How you can cut that timeline way down is to make extra payments toward the principle throughout the year or in a lump sum at some point throughout the year. The 30 year gives you flexibility, with the option to make more payments instead of having to make higher payments on a 15 yr.

Hey Armando, not a bad spot to be in!

You can go the sub2/assumable route but heard enough horror stories from those deals I'd recommend staying away. 

The other route is to wholesale to get some cash and bring 20% to the next deal, or if you're able to take any equity out of the other properties you own, you could could deploy those funds in another deal. Not sure how long you've lived in your primary, but buying another primary can allow you to put 3-5% down - which in Phoenix can allow you to get some great MFH in good areas if LTR is your strategy. 


I'm doing the same right now, would love to connect and see what areas you're looking into as well!

Hey Alex I'll send you a PM!

My business partner and I are Investors, Wholesalers, and Agents here in the area. We get our investors deals like this to then build, flip, etc.

Our bread and butter is flips and STR's here, we run some local forums for each actually so we may have someone from these forums that would be interested partnering or buying it from you if one of our investors isn't.


I'd be happy to show you the numbers based on our models what your return would look like if you partnered or flipped yourself vs sold it on market or off market. Looking forward to connecting soon!

Hey Fabio, 

I'm in the Phoenix market and can tell you 100% you can find some nice duplexes around here for that price. It would depend on the areas you like to be close to but I've helped a few different buyers get nice places in Glendale and Mesa pretty easily. 

It's also a buyer's market out here so you can get better prices, rate buydowns, seller credits, etc
