I used to be in the 30 year fixed camp, but when I have looked at my seven year investing career, I realize that I have never held a loan for more than a few years.

I’d skip paying for any boot camps or anything like that, just find a solid lender and agent (ideally who both invest themselves), and learn by doing.

Do they test their kid's clothing after a week at camp?

Since the turn of the year, nothing changed overnight.

For instance, if my wife and I were to die overnight, we want to make sure that her parents at least have a chance at recovering their capital (morbid, but you never know...). 

For instance if you had a few acres in an undeveloped area, you may use it for camping or if there was water on the property maybe fishing. 

Made for a nice ribbon cutting photo opp and essentially ruined another half a block as those 200 new free condo dwellers have about 500 friends camping outside.

Big "gurus" make it seem like you can become an overnight millionaire with no money out of pocket and no credit.

There seems to be two camps where:Take it : $1 save today is more valuable that $1 in the future, even with the recapture when selling the propertyNot take it : due to huge increase of the asset price, when you sell, it will bump you up to higher tax bracket, and with the recapture, it will negate any tax write off you gain earlier.Just wondering if there are any general rule of thumbs to follow?  

One would think that the market would at some point rebalance to make it more attractive to choose this model as a reward for giving up flexibility and the potential comfort in being able to set up camp permanently.
