@Carlo D.You pay interest on the principal only, so every month your principal amount of loan is slightly lower which will reduce the amount of interest you are payingGo to Google and search amortization table and it will show you the principal payment, interest payment and loan balance after each month.

While it’s beneficial that the buses are fare-free, job opportunities in Worcester are dwindling due to the dual tax rate on commercial property.For Worcester to thrive, it’s crucial to develop a balanced ecosystem where residents can live, work, and shop locally.

There is ZERO need to keep a balance on a card. 

I would tell you to pay down your credit cards even if you focus on just one card at a time to get the balance down to 30% or less of credit limit.

It could be worth checking out other custodians, not just the ones with checkbook ability, because you may find that they offer the quick turn around and funding times you are looking to achieve with that checkbook ability.

Most often the terms specify that distributions are first paid to satisfy the preferred return and second they are paid to return capital, so the capital account would look like this:$100,000 starting balance$8,000 preferred return accrual($8,000) preferred return distribution$100,000 ending balanceIn year two, there is another $8,000 due, etc.But partnership agreements can be written however the parties agree, so the rules could be different and that would result in entirely different calculations and results.
