If in the right, ya got nothing to fear, just be organized, make it simple for judge to rule in your favor.

We service Monroe and it's looking pretty favorable IMO. 

For sellers, the market is still favorable.

But I'm also of afraid of missing out on a good opportunity to get a townhome in a expensive popular area at the price point and interest rate I find to be favorable.

.        *** I would love to hear your comments on a debate in favor of the snowball.**** At some point, future, I think I will want most all properties paid off so I can have great flow with minimal stress and maintenance numbers but kinda feel growth phase is still smartest as of now. 

If you are in a “tenant friendly” location where the rules and laws are in your tenants favor and not the landlord, renting to section 8 can literally bankrupt you.

The advantages are twofold - you secure favorable financing terms for your primary residence, and when you're ready to move on to the next property, you have the option to turn your initial purchase into a lucrative investment.

Caution that these repayments generally cost more in the long run and the strategy would be to refinance again in a more favorable interest rate environment.
