I wish I knew or learned anything about investing or FI earlier!!

This savings, combined with preferential green financing, increases your profit spread.You can spend some of the savings on lush landscaping and free wi-fi for all tenants, upscaling your building. 10 UNIT EXAMPLE: Purchase a 10 unit building for $1,800,000 with a 25% down payment, ($450,000).

(I don't think I totally understand the cash out re-fi part).

I know because I have wi-fi thermostats and I monitor them.

I have heard quite a few people who achieved FI early wished they slowed down and enjoyed a little.

Your debt-load is now $50k higher from the re-fi, plus you also have more debt from the new property.

IN our Oregon market this tends to be SOP so sellers and agents dont push back.Out in Charleston SC I have had a very hard time getting sellers to do this.. they want to close in a short amount of time..
