No debt, they bought this place for like 200k in early 90s, quite old people. im not sure if they will be alive for the 7yr term but they chose it..The reason im putting so much down is im buying w gift money and i want low monthly payments.

I try to pay off all loans as fast as possible because I feel like money wasted on interest is overlooked sometimes as people only focus on the amount of money coming in rather than the amount saved.As of today, I'm just focusing on establishing the best systems to analyze the markets, find properties, get financing, make wise renovations, and manage my rental properties.

I am not going to deep dive here.I usually lose these sorts of deals to people willing to underwrite more aggressively.
