Hi Michele,Maxing out your Roth IRA before investing in real estate can be a wise decision, as it allows you to take advantage of the tax-free growth and withdrawals in retirement, providing a solid foundation for your future.

Over 220k equity and living mortgage free Lessons learned?

Get seller concessions to buy your rate down and pay your closing costs, so you can save your cash.

The only cost so far is the hosting which was $150 for 4 years (plus domain name which was negligible).

He quoted a 20% fee for managing each successful booking and suggested we improve the staging of the house, which he would oversee for an additional 10% of the total staging costs.

I don’t currently insure it as the cost was four times my home.

Please feel free to contact me for a full setup on these great development/investment opportunities.                                                                                                           

I would also add that investors are often interested in Blanket loans because they mistakenly think it will save significant closing costs, but they do not as you will still need four title polices and appraisals etc. and you will get far worse financing terms on the loan and have a lot less flexibility down the road to refi and sell properties.  

I offer it free to all family and friends, just a shame to leave a beautiful home empty.
