Any LL operation of any kind or under any strategy is nothing more than annuity income, small amounts received over time.

Most often it needs to be another real estate opportunity.If I were to select bonds or stocks or insurance annuities as my alternative investment, then to have an apples to apples analysis I must consider the risks involved, mgt. required, admin. and market fluctuations and then adjust these factors to mirror those applicable to real estate.Remember too, that $132 cash received clear on your opportunity investment, it goes through the similar analysis, that sum is reinvested for the best use of cash, otherwise you have a skewed view of the value of that annuity stream, what those payments are really worth.

Even after incurring UBIT, a real estate transaction beats most other investment vehicles, especially Wall Street dreck, annuities and bank CDs.Keep up the great work!

It's up now to over 700 thanks to the law firm and getting 1 credit card.Wife's credit is better (a bit ) but she has a higher debt to income ratio due to 2 car payments and furniture.We get $15K annually from an annuity that we use to pay all the taxes on our homes and our rental which leaves us about $2,500 left over each year.

She had liquidated an annuity a couple months ago and allegedly it cleared the beginning of this month, that's when they said they'd send both months rent and late fees.  

Her motivation is receiving an annuity income, converting the RE into a monthly income without RE concerns, just go to the bank.When the properties are sold, her loan will be assumed keeping her income in play.

I have some annuities with x amout of $.

It could be they know it's the best way to keep their money (equity) at work, the tax advantages are favored and the annuity income is desirable.

Warning: many financial planners will dismiss real estate altogether, because they cannot earn commissions from it, unlike from selling you annuities or mutual funds.Your Realtor may actually be finding you good properties, as long as your goals are aligned with his.

The seller creates an 'investment" that can produce an annuity with a very good rate of return for many years.Watch Out!"
