Instead of paying down someone else’s mortgage, you’re setting yourself up for bigger and better deals down the road.Your first deal is going to depend on a lot of factors—how important is location?

@Adam M.The cost for a real estate tax accountant will vary based on location, experience, education and other factors, just like any other professional.

This property will require a pool to fully optimize its earning potential, and I've already factored that into my calculations.

While less than 10% of the mortgage industry offers 40-year mortgages, here's something to factor in: they often come in with a rate increase of 20-35 bps.Assume 35 bps.$300k mortgage at 7.25% (30-year): $2,046$300k mortgage at 7.6% (40-year): $1,996Technically, it lowers the monthly, but not by much once factoring in the rate adjustment.

Several factors at play: the sales market has been slow so many would-be sellers are converting houses they can’t sell to rentals, lots of new construction units have been completed recently, and in-migration has slowed down a bit.
