I worked with two amazing Brokers (Travis and Patrick from Savvy Ent.) and an outstanding loan officer (Isaiah from Cornerstone Mortgage) who really helped pave the way.

Your goals are outstanding and I’m sure many would agree that your 70% savings rule is a great accomplishment in itself!

On the east side, in Redmond, we are currently living in a property worth probably 1.6 with about 600K outstanding - and a monthly payment of about 4K including mortgage, insurance, property taxes etc.Looking to leave the area.Does it make sense to rent it out given that I’ll probably get 4K in rent?

We just added an offshoot of our NJ and Philadelphia REI Zoom calls, a VIP Zoom nationwide for investors with 5+ deals done or 5+ doors owned.

They are: verifiable income of $5,550 per month, good reference for previous housing history, pass credit check over 650, no outstanding past due obligations, no recent (10 years) bankruptcies, a clean criminal record, and no previous evictions."

But, you still have the loan outstanding...Also, I don't know why you added the whole part about the $2k/mo less... 

I imagine there were lots of great looking spreadsheets presented to investors in 2022 and 2023 promising outstanding returns and some of those deals are now in trouble.

It's sandwiched between nationwide children's and googles new data center (S high and Rathmell)The positive cashflow investments are going to be within the outer loop

Specifically, there's job growth (Intel, Honda, Amazon, Nationwide, etc) and the population is growing (unlike Cleveland or Cincy).

However, if you're debt outstanding is significant then a rate term refi might make more sense if you plan to hold onto it for a bit.
