Quote from @Mark Vesu: @Wilson Lau does $400/sq ft includes everything - including foundation?

Hi Mark - Rental properties are generally tax efficient investments (i.e., depreciation offsets current cash flow and defers income recognition until disposition) and so are the retirement accounts (tax paid in retirement when distributed) so the tax burden on the money you are borrowing is likely not to materialize for many years.The delta between the 9.5% interest rate and 8.3% average return on the existing retirement account would result in more funds in the account if you take out the loan.
