Quote from @Zachary Hryczyk:

For me its a no brainer. Find some rentals or other investment propertys with your opportunity and keep the mortgage you have now. You have to take on risk to make money in investing. Just make sure you do the math, get some good deals and your off and running building wealth instead of feeling good about paying off a mortgage, then having no capital to start your journey. Good luck either way 🙂

Thank you for the reply! I think this is the way I’m starting to lean. It’s rough given the current market and interest rates but there’s no better time to pull the trigger than the present!

Do the math.  ALL of the math.


 Short and sweet lol. I like it! Thanks for the input. 


 to elaborate a little,  your current mortgage rate is soemething to consider.  If your goal is to build wealth giving up a low rate by paying off a mortgage may not be the optimal decision. Using that capital to leverage positive cash flowing properties, albiet at today's higher rates, is the math you need to do.  If you use the calculators plug in the properties and all the finaicial particulars and evalute the result. Be sure to factor in all expenses on rentals, vacancy, repairs, cap ex, debt service, taxes and insurance.  The good news you are choosing between two very  advantageous scenarios. Paying off a debt is always the safest decision, but with years of compounding could be an attractive choice.


 Thank you for the quality input! You laid out my exact problem (a good problem to have). I think I need to get some more concrete numbers on the rentals and “do all the math”. I know in the long run my 3rd option is the biggest wealth builder but also takes on the most risk.

Hey everyone,

I'm about to inherit a substantial amount of money through my fathers estate. The amount of money is enough to:

1. Pay off my primary mortgage...OR
2. Buy two turnkey properties for cash through a place like Mid South Home Buyers...OR
3. Buy around 5 turnkey properties via financing through a place like Mid South Home Buyers.

My mortgage payment is approximately $1,600/month. Simply getting rid of that payment would be nice and a huge breath of fresh air.

Buying two properties for cash would bring in enough cash flow to cover my primary mortgage payment.

Buying 5 properties via financing is obviously the most "long term" wealth building option, but also comes with more risk.

I understand most of the pros and cons of each option but I would love some more opinions of these options.

Thanks in advance!

@Daniel Masamey

I’m not sure why I’m just now seeing this notification. Sorry for the delay. Yes, I’ve bought in Lawrence Township and the Devington neighborhood so far. Pretty much C-class all the way.

@Ray Sizzum

You went by his property? Talked to the neighbors? Talked to Tyler? You just came in saying all this stuff with no context. Thanks

@Jay Hinrichs

Wow! That’s crazy! How will this effect their clients, like @Tyler Jahnke?

@Tyler Jahnke

Thank you for the reply! I’d love to hear about your experience with property #2 as well. I’m currently in escrow for my first property in Indy with a different turnkey provider (not Morris Invest). I’m planning on heading out to Indy this summer and attempt to create the relationships that you’ve made. Thanks again!

Hey @Tyler Jahnke,

Thanks for the update! Are you planning to use another turnkey provider for property #2 or are you sourcing the property yourself? Thanks in advance!
