Now the higher down payment takes away the ability for me to acquire more properties therefore I can pay the higher rate and maximize leverage.

I and my wife paid off all debt and save up our emergency fund, we got our finances in control and are now looking to start investing.  

I like the maxim "Focus on doing the right things, THEN focus on doing them right."

Yes yes I'm in my third day today is Saturday I am still skeptical a little exhausted and I am trying to understand why I have not retained any of the express information that the instructor has been throwing out there for 2 days maybe it's just me. and I don't understand why I am trying to pull credit to pay for a program that I thought was doable for the $1,147 I spent that was my introductory cost after attending the class on the second day I find that there are advanced classes that they would like you to apply for I'm a little confused so I'm not only using their resources but I am buying into a system that I had no idea that I was getting ready to buy into LOL if this makes any sense please reply note I am submitting retirement documents regarding my 401k bank statement regarding my savings and banking account checking and I'm online applying for a $20,000 credit line help reply thanks.

A good lease will save you a ton of money if you ever have to enforce it.

I think most people would prefer central air but realistically window units will save tenants money since you do not have to turn them all on and it will for sure save you money.

If you've got a $2k mortgage, saving $6k for 3 months should be chicken feed as an investor - nothing you can do anything substantial with, in other words. 

I have saved about 8k but I still feel that this isn't nearly enough.

I'll just have saved myself some time in rework and now is not the time to experiment.Thanks all....

All you need to do is ask for that other persons business card or ask for their phone number and save it on your phone.
