Hey Guys -

Check this out . . . I was just looking through our reported posts and saw something that made me feel really good. Last night a spammer posted a junk post on the site and as you can see, the post ...

I am open to 'teaming-up' I am always looking to build my power team.

In looking over the will I find that I am named bothexecutor and Successor Trustee and I am given power to handle all financial matters for the estate.

I am in same boat with 2 young babies.

It will allow You to get the knowledge/currency that You need to up Your score the proper way, and learn about such things as "goodwill letters" , proper ways to dispute, and other powerful tools.

I'm in the same boat as you in terms of my REI experience.

If so I lose 9% earning power of that same $ in an index fund.- If I get a loan ( which will be tricky since there is no mortgage, or at least a loan where I can deduct interest), the cost of $ is kinda steep on a $135K note- Duplex is fully depreciated so recapture tax will be steep when I eventually sell it.( I would inherit the same tax position of my generous family member ) Also means I wouldn't be able to take any depreciation.- Duplex will need $35K (approx & is a cash layout) for rehab.When I run the numbers over 10 years it seems i would be barely ahead to keep the duplex vs. investing my cash outlay over 10 years at 9% in an index fund.

Getting a some what accurate costs from the electric company to run the power can be a challenge too.

With that said, I am kind of in the same boat as you.

Leverage is the most powerful reason to invest in real estate.
