Currently in DFW (assuming, because MKE may be similar in this regard), I would find it a surprise if you cover your cost of living completely (i.e. living for $0, or getting paid while in the unit) at this time of relatively higher (read: historically AVG) interest rates compared to 2-10 years ago.  

Great time to for multifamilies rents are high rates are dropping and values will continue to climb for 2024!

Hello, I wanted to get feedback and thoughts from Investors and Real Estate professional on a potential tool that would use machine learning and AI to create scores or ratings on real estate markets at the zip code level.

I don’t see the sense in paying off my own house at presumably low interest rates, and exchanging that for a higher rate, variable interest line…unless I have a really good plan for not losing my house.  

Our strategy is to improve the property and raise rents above the HUD rate. 

This old school approach has been super successful, and I definitely respect it, but there's no way I could manage a paper calendar. 

Just look up amortization schedules, and fill in the blanks for:  principle, interest rate, term. 

In my mind, it is simply a hurdle rate.

I'm curious about how they are able to convert your business credit cards into a cash line of credit while avoiding the high balance transfer interest rates.  

So we've got a return of 23% on our first and a return of 175% on our second.TL;DR - Are owning free and clear assets better than having high rate of return?
