Nevada will be voting in November to legalize marijuana usage for any one over 21 years of age and looking at Colorado and the HUGE tax/business benefits it has brought to them.

The one benefit that flippers have here in town is that while there is a lot for sale...there is not a lot of choice of stuff that consumers actually want.

'Earning' 6%+ risk-free and tax-free in our .01% savings account environment makes sense.I mostly responded to dispel the notion that holding a mortgage for the 'tax benefits' makes sense.  

When you pay it off early (or minimize your leverage) you lose this benefit and your returns go down. 

Do you strongly believe that a buy and hold investor would benefit from getting one?

The VA Loan is not automatically a "zero down" loan, as that benefit is for veterans with a disability rating.

All the posts above are correct.We have used our benefits 6 or 7 times.

They all have their on perks and benefits. 

I don't plan to sell which is why it's worth the $100 a month in cash flow now while I still have a W2 job and can afford not to live off the cash flow but rather reinvest it in principle pay down, and then reap the benefits of paid off houses down the road when I retire.

I'd be interested in hearing about your sales position, sounds like it will definitely have benefits for investing.Eric
