Since you appear to have a good income you can plow extra income from that property to pay off the note like a debt snowball.

Plus, I'm just not thrilled about forking out 20% when I would rather put that money to work for me elsewhere and opt for a 5-10 percent down payment.So in the simplest terms, if one uses math and logic, we clearly have the means to afford the house, but with traditional financing, the 20 percent will be a bit of a stretch for us.  

We have many clients with deep pockets and large incomes that prefer to build a large real estate portfolio with our turnkey properties primarily because they don't have any "extra" time to get involved actively in real estate investing.Other factors to consider are your knowledge, contacts, capital, and other resources that may be necessary to do it on your own.

But if you want  clients to start hmm registering, applying for something or doing business with the website that would not do and probably will be some extra services at a cost from them.  

One thing that arises with a reverse exchange that does not occur in a normal exchange is that there are two transfers of title (normal exchange only has one) - so there will be an extra amount to be paid for transfer tax with that second transfer. 

It is usually 5 to 10 years before they start retiring that debt and doing really well with extra cash.

There is an extra twist on this.  

There is a driveway for 2 cars so there is currently off street parking.Should I take the extra time and money to build the garage or just do the quick reno and move on? 

I know I will pay more in interest but with the extra cash every month I'm hoping to turbocharge my REI.

There is also commission splits and extra office fees that I would be subject to if we have to run everything thru her office.
