If you are looking at buying small businesses I would target the ones that baby boomers own, many of them are retiring and looking to sell their business as a retirement plan.

If rates do go down significantly, it will be more of a sign of economic instability.I recommend continuing to save monies until you come up with enough for a decent down payment.

or waiting and saving.

Any suggestions are appreciated.I have about $50K in saving and could potentially get to $100K in cash for my very first real estate investment.

Please save yourself time, money, and grief.

Eliminate debt, establish a budget, and save.

I would suggest changing your mindset from how you can save a few hundred bucks to how you can grow your income.

The tax savings will be around $8,100 per year or $680 per month at a 20% tax bracket.

If I did it that way, the ownership would read [Wife's First Name] & Michael Izbotsky as 100% owner.I'm asking because it will save me from headaches and filing paperwork.Many thanks in advance, and happy Thanksgiving!
