In Canada, for example, the average mortgage term is 5-years, so every 5-years you renew your mortgage and have the opportunity to pay down as much as you would like (if you wanted to pay more than the payment restrictions of a fixed-rate mortgage).If you want to pay down your mortgage more quickly and cannot afford to increase your payment, simply switching from the default monthly mortgage payment to accelerated bi-weekly payments will reduce your amortization by ~12% (the extra payment per year from the accelerated part) and reduce the overall interest paid by slightly more (~14%).Naturally, if you increase the bi-weekly payment, you will pay down the mortgage more quickly.

They almost always refuse to accept any offer form other than the Association of Realtor forms.I once had to scramble to find an agent to represent me on a time sensitive deal, but the agent demanded to view the property herself first before writing my offer.

The market can be tricky with its block-by-block nature, but it's been a great fit for all-cash purchases like yours.I also have a team on the ground in Detroit that helps manage everything from finding deals to overseeing rehabs, which is crucial for out-of-state investors.
