We would have been better off discounting the rent 7% and finding tenants that would respect our property and rent year after year.  

Always good to work with a seasoned rep who is reliable well respected and has aggressively priced products. 

A good rule - as long as the plumbing and electric has been updated, a well-built home from the mid-20th century is a better investment and will likely outlast a newer build.Credit to the respective author

@Greta Andrews Dave Ramsey a nationally respected financial expert , best selling author, and financial advisor calls whole life( cash value) insurance a con job orchestrated on novice investors by “ enthusiastic ignoramuses” masquerading as financial advisors.Borrowing money from yourself and paying interest on your own money is a non common sense approach to investing.

We've seen a lot of uninformed views in this thread.I would encourage the bulls to respect that crytpo is not for everyone and we have to respect an individual investor's tolerance for risk.And I want to thank @Russell Brazil for the absolute best comment in the thread earning him some 100 votes by the time this thread dies out!

I respect architects but they often don't know and/or don't care about the cost of doing things one way vs. another or how a simple choice can have an outsized impact on your budget.

In that respect there are formulas to be mindful of and you should think like the lender when you are analyzing your purchases.At the same time there’s no hard and fast rules or formulas an investor should rely on when underwriting their rental properties.
