Music: like lots of everything but those that know me know that my fav band is the Dead.

Hi Everyone,My name is Alyssa Nguyen (pronounced "win").

If there are no toys and the flowers are all dead from last year, that's another sign that it might be unoccupied.I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice. 

deed it to a dead guy". 

I see so many borrowers hobble themselves by paying cash and sinking massive amounts of capital into DEAD EQUITY!   

You do not want dead equity in a rental property.

Better interest rate, better tax advantages, no dead equity sitting in the property.

The “dead equity” argument is that the ROI on your equity when you have a paid off property is very limited.  

If you consider for every 100K in equity, with a mortgage rate at 5% you are losing a minimum 5% annually on every dollar of dead equity you hold.

haFacts are, any loan you get for the purchase will be a short term financing tool with sinking as little "Dead Equity" into the property purchase as possible, so interest rate should not be the only factor.
