We look at lenders (so long as they lend in the asset class you are considering) as an additional line of due diligence (they deeply care about their money and they are likely more sophisticated than you are).

With the potential for strong cash flow, appreciation, and inflation protection, real estate remains a powerful addition to any diversified portfolio.What Do You Think?

Making additional payments or taking a shorter term are just depositing more into that savings account (it's not like the property appreciates more by paying down the loan). 

I'm happy to answer any additional questions as best as I can. 

If you’re comfortable with a bigger investment, a duplex is good for the benefit of additional cash flow and you could house-hack.

What do you mean you are paying $400 additional dollars more than what you are paying now?

I heard that less than 20% down causes additional insurance fee? 

Is the portal that the landlord and tenants use an additional charge?

So, many people choose to operate in their own personal name but buy an additional umbrella policy to protect themselves from liability.
