NO, they wouldn’t.If you’ve got a job, your wife’s got a job and your way of life financially has been the same for the last many years, why would you not buy a home with the mortgage rates at the current level they are right now?

When I get to the point where I want to do real estate full time and leave my FT job, do any of you have contacts for real estate groups who buy health/life/dental insurance as a group and, thus, get their small business/personal insurances more cheaply than if they bought as individuals?

Do I buy the house outright (thinking around 60k or so) and the give her life rights and rent it back to her?

With proper tax planning you can exchange through life, die and NEVER pay tax.

Buy the house and give her a life estate in the property.3.

you should buy based on your life circumstances and not what the market is doing....if you buy it now you can live in it and enjoy the home vs. having to rent....real estate always appreciates in the long term so if you hold it it will go up.There will be a time to buy but it may not be for years to come.

I spent 4 years as a union carpenter My dad was always telling me to think about RE it was a life long dream of his that he was never able to do.
