They could have used that money for much better investments that would have allowed them actual financial freedom.People look at tax deferment as if it is some pot of gold that then dictates their very life.

Where do you want to be in life in 3-5 years?

I've done it twice in Reno, NV and it's changed my life. 

Most contracts are in a PDF format, and this software will make your life a LOT easier when you need to quickly edit a contract.

I wanted to create an STR experience and bring my bold ideas to life.

Just be the absolute best host you can be for the first year -- communicate clearly and quickly, make sure cleaning is top-notch, make sure all amenities work (hot tub is hot, TV remotes have batteries, etc. etc.)

A Realtor friend said he had some of his busiest years during that time so life goes on.

As long as the buyer prioritize lower monthly payments and is confident that they can manage the long-term cost of a 40-yr loan - If the buyer plans to stay in the property for a long time.Also, be sure to weigh these two drawbacks to a 40-year loan (paying significantly more interest over the life of the loan and building equity slower as compared to a shorter loan term).

It was kind of a bad spot in my life at the time.

At this stage in my life, these equity plays are more impactful than holding onto a property for a couple hundred dollars of monthly cash flow.What’s your take?
