Ithaca usually seems to have good intentions but this one is just short-sighted.

Sometimes, sight unseen, a lot of unknowns. 

They’re so excited about the SDE or the margins or the multiple, they lose sight of the bigger picture.Business is personal.

I am curious if anyone has had success in other areas let me know.We are thinking of relocating as it looks like there is no end in sight for this.

@Chris May,You're really whipping a dead horse.The whole principle behind mortgage acceleration involves paying the principle off faster.How it is done is irrelevant.

Real estate loans are taxed as you pay down the principle, not when you borrow the money.

People most successful in all aspects of real estate investing and the real estate BUSINESS, gain knowledge and experience n three areas: (1) real estate principles, (2) real estate law, and (3) real estate finance.  

Sometimes vendors get short-sighted and need to be reminded to not be ridiculous. 

I am excited to start the journey of real estate investing with my sights set on long term single family and smaller multi family long term rental properties out of state.

You pay additional principle on your mortgage you are saving yourself 6.75%, BUT if you can put that money together and do something MORE GAINFUL with it then that is what investing is about.
