This is even true for student debt.I recommend the old-school, proven technique of paying off all debt.

Quote from @Chris Seveney: Disclosure: Yes I am a private lender but we do not provide this type of financing so I wanted to #ASKI have a client who has around $5M in real estate that has properties in GA, FL, NV and texas.

Purchase price: $575,000 Cash invested: $218,750 Sale price: $775,000 This was a tough one.

- I know NC been on the radar for quite some time- is it still worth to pay attention to this market?

This model seems to work very well in that market.  

@Andrew Caton Hey Andrew - Looks like your going about this the right way, you just need to find the right person/people.

If this isn't really something you're open to doing then I'd probably focus on a turnkey single family property that will get good appreciation over the next 10-30 years. 

Started a new Partership earlier this year and got our first house within it.

Your worst-case scenario (not specific to MA) would be having to sue to get them out as a holdover, but this is really reserved for worst-choice scenarios when owners choose the first renter or don't do any due diligence.

There’s a pretty easy way around this in 90% of the cases.
