If you are not planning to live in the property, then you are not going to qualify for an FHA loan.

The increased cash flow would make such a substantial difference in your daily life that not paying it off would be foolish.Outside of that, I can't see many reasons I would take a 15% tax hit to save 4% on a mortgage, which is really only effectively about 3-3.5% depending on your tax bracket.

Real wealth is built over time with consistent effort, even when things are difficult.Increase earnings, reduce expenses, save, invest.

My fiance and I are in a unique situation as I play baseball professionally, and she works online and plans to live with me during my season.

Considering your situation, I would try to find deals on Facebook, saved zillow/realtor search notifications, etc.

We have some of those calculators we plan to to add in 2025 for those who want it all-in-one.

I am planning to offer an equity position to a friend in a property I am currently in the process of refinancing.

I have a degree in civil engineering and 15 years construction, site development, and short term rental experience and am looking to shift my focus/career towards real estate development, mainly raw land although if there were a house on the property could include fix and flip.I plan to purchase 50+ acres of raw land with 1000+ feet of road frontage, have it surveyed and split into separate 5+ acre parcels for re-listing.

Ill be sure to save your contact for any investors I come across that are in the MA market. 

My plan is to rent it on a short term rental basis and stay for few weeks in a year with family/friends.
