In principal thought here are a few thoughts:I see a lot of posts by Tom Goans and they are all good!

I am looking to send a very basic message to someone with a postcard, like "Earn 10% with your principal secured"...go to [my web site]Then the site will have a video and an in depth explanation of the investment.

With amortization, the longer you own it, the principal pay down increases.

If you borrow from your 401k, a lender will want to make sure your current income(without the rent from the property you're buying) will be able to handle the new Principal, Interest, Tax and Insurance payments on the new place on top of the 401k loan monthly payment.When you run your numbers on a potential property, factor that 401k loan into your debt expenses so you're not running in the negative every month (defeating the cash flow purpose).

You could do it 2 ways:a) 8% interest only until you pay back the principal (depending on when you agree on a term)b) 8% amortized over a fixed term where you pay back principal and interest.There may be other creative ways to do it as well.

I asked if you got your cash flow by taking gross rents and subtracting PITI (principal, interest, taxes and insurance).

A change in place of employment is considered to be the reason the taxpayer sold his or her home if the change occurred when the home was used as a principal residence, and the new place of employment is at least 50 miles farther from the former residence than was the former place of employment.Health.

Looking quickly at your numbersWhere is your principal payment expense on your loan?

I have never heard of them, but I checked LinkedIn and many of my friends know the principals.

Borrowers, short sale folks and every other REI person would jump on bandwagons looking for principal reduction based on sale price or short sale amounts based on sale price, etc.
