In mine, I started with the S&P index fund, then swung for the fences with small cap and international funds.)2.

You can minimize it with property management, etc, but it is not the same thing as looking at returns from your index fund.

In the long term, wouldn't it pencil out better to get your maximum mortgage amount, invest the desired amount into another property/venture, and leave your excess slush fund in a stock market index? 

Floating rate loans are tied to LIBOR (at least for now, eventually LIBOR is going away) and that index is forecast to decrease from where it is today and remain relatively level for the next ten years. 

In the short term, it may cost more.I find this index to be helpful in this case:http://htaindex.cnt.org/For the record, I do plan to leave NYC.

Cash flow is more important to me at the moment in a tricky economy over investing in securities or, for instance, putting money into the VTSAK or another index fund when the Fed is printing money like drunken sailors, and also because of the higher taxes you pay with portfolio income on the gains over passive rentals.

Account Closeddont blame @bruce Woodruff it was me :) go to the supreme court.gov website, its in there under appellate cases, If I remember correctly the site has a searchable index. 

If you have a small amount to invest you are better of buying and index fund and adding to it gradually.

Greensboro sits at a 4 out 100 on the crime index (with 100 being the safest) Taking a look a the 2022 GPD Year in Review reports, looks like crime has dropped in Gboro quite significantly from 2021-2022.

This is where you can make your money stretch further by doing a BRRRR on a multifamily, this could also be done on a single family home.I would not do wholesale due to its such a hard gig to do.I mean with 1M you could just have it sitting in the index fund and your set for life, making around 8% a year. that's like 60-80k a year!
