Or find a great place to live where you can less than rent or close to it after principal paydown, and personally live in that new purchase for a long time..?

Commercial real estate is all I do as a principal broker and look forward to getting up everyday and see what happens.Some residential brokers and agents just see big checks in commercial but do not understand the time and effort that go into deals of that size.Instead of clients putting down 4k to say 100k in residential they are putting down sometimes millions to tens of millions of dollars as an investment.Make sure you enjoy numbers and analysis.

Cash price is 885,000.Terms 910,000 with 10% down (possibly less down) and principal payments of $3,500 per month.

The other benefits are asset appreciation, principal pay down by tenant, and tax deductions (which I'm sure vary greatly by country).

Welcome to BP.Hang on tight and enjoy the ride.It sounds like you plan to buy and hold as rental property.If you expect $19,200 for rental income, then 50% rule says to expect about half of that to be eaten by operating expenses NOT including the principal and interest from mortgage.
