If the answer is yes, then it's a no brainer to make minimum payments on your 2.8% interest rate mortgage, and use the funds that you would have paid extra to pay it down faster, to either invest in more real estate, the market, or anywhere else where you can get a ROI > 2.8%.If the answer is no, then feel free to aggressively pay it down as fast as possible, to become debt-free faster, and just have a large amount of money in savings or to splurge with.The bottom line is that your 2.8% mortgage is GOOD debt.

Maybe consider getting a p.m. company that would do some boots on the ground and some research for you to find out what some of these issues could be because you are not close to the residence in the location, unless you can do some research yourself online, or consult with the historical Society of the area, look things up at the library, there are lots of different ways that you could start this process, but my point being that you may end up losing more money in the long run.

They said that if the contracting buyer didn't have the funds to buy at the time of agreeing on price with the seller - it was under a false scenerio - since they were not going to buy the house from the start.

Ideally, you layout all the duties (Find, Underwrite, fund, rehab, manage) and assign a value to each of those based on how much time they might take.
