From September-April of 2019 we will be making a payment out of pocket toward the principal that will pay down an extra $4,800. 

Every penny we get over in rent we apply towards the principal of her condo.

I called Chase and they said that they also charge a quarter of 1% of the principal along with the monthly interest payment.

This is a 100% of assessed value of property.If you temporary move from your homestead and do not establishe a principal residence elsewhere you keep your exemption for 2 years. 

  $100,000 deferred principal balance, about the same balloon payoff penalty, or $172,000 to bring it out of default to make it eligible for a refinance.

Ground Up Construction loans (for 1-4 unit investment properties).The principals of 11 Capital Finance have been in the commercial lending business for over 20 years and know how to properly advise a borrower on any type of commercial real estate transaction.

Its always better to get your principal back to go do another deal.I like to take a macro view and tally up all the deals/investments at the end of the year and see what the net profit/return is.That way you can average all your deals and you may also end up with an out-sized PROFIT house that averages out the small 5K profit you made on this one.Like Lebron James says, just try to get better at your craft every day..!

If doing the owner financing we always do principal only payments. 

The principals were inexperienced and I had no experience to even ask the right questions.
