Why not foreclosure list... what exactly made you pick absentee owners from SOOOOO many choices out there?

Generally if you can save a point or more while you are early holding your loan, it may be beneficial to refinance, especially bringing NO money to the table. 

Perhaps there is a tipping point on the road to FIRE where the risk of not paying Term Life Insurance Policies anymore and the reward of using that money to further fund your portfolios would be more beneficial...

I think some landlords fall into the mistake of increasing or not increasing rent automatically, without understanding what the market warrants.You think it is a pain to rent a property during a pandemic, but also keep in mind it is a bigger pain for them to find a place and move during a pandemic.When we do renewals, we generally offer two choices.

You must report all of your company’s beneficial owners!

Instead of waiting for retirement and buying then, you can just buy today for much less money and you can get the property pay for itself through rentals and you can use the property for your holidays.And, if you happen to change your retirement plans in the meantime, no worries you can sell for a nice profit and will have made some great rental income along the way, which will allow you to buy a nice place in your new destination of choice. 

@Jonathan AlmanzaWell you have two choices, buy now at a high price while lenders are relaxed on lending standards or wait until standards tighten up and housing prices drop.

I’m looking for insight on whether it would be more beneficial to use a portion or all of it as a down payment towards a rental property or if I should use it to pay cash for a cheaper one.

I was wondering if anyone uses this strategy in their Real Estate business and if it proves beneficial?

I don't think there was any warning from their team on the choices the previous board made financially.
