I have this theory that basically the stock market can grow faster than the fundamentals more so than housing, reason being when people put money into their 401k or whatever they are just throwing money in, not looking at p/e or whatever, the stock market is in part just an index of Americans excess savings plus it’s a unstated policy of the government that stocks go up, where as housing people are obviously very very aware of how much thier monthly payments is/ how much rent is, plus it seems that is actually a push to lower housing prices at least relative to inflation.

HI Vince, as long as you are vacating your current primary home and moving into a new primary that is acceptable, but just make sure you obtain a 12 month lease in order to use the rental income to offset your mortgage payment and not getting hit twice for your current mortgage and new mortgage.

Either1) your startup takes off and you can distribute profit fast enough to pay off your debts, or2) you find another source of $100,000 a year (which barely even starts to pay down the $300k, but might provide a better chance for a better loan), or3) you BK and possibly lose the rental houses to creditors (hopefully not, but we don’t know how they are held), or 4) you sell the houses, take the tax hit, work with the IRS on a payment plan whose interest will be much lower than your CCs, and focus on the startup.  

The letter also stated that the current landlord should have begun collecting payments toward to the security deposit upon receipt of the letter they provided me, which they did not. 

I bought the duplex for $145,000 which put monthly payment at $918 monthly.

I'm stressing because I wasn't anticipating this and am not excited about the prospect of paying 2k more than I was expecting when my mortgage payments kick in next month.I'll be searching the forum for answers as well, but since I am kinda desperate at the moment, I thought I would go straight to the source for advice.

This was my first investment property and I used a loan from my 401k for the down payment and also used a local credit union for a 10% down payment on it when I bought it.

The down payment is based off the total adjusted acquisition cost – the purchase price plus the cost of renovations.

Of course if rates go down, you should be good, if they go up, then have them rerun your payment amounts and purchase power so that you're good to go there.#3.
