If you don't have time RE really isn't for you....If you wanna plop down money and have it earn for you without doing much work and is something you can do online try an ETrade account and some mutual funds.

all cash....thanks for your replyyou are correct, my current loan balance is about 200k (i approxmiated my loan balance...didn't think that principal came down that fast).My dilemma is whether it is better to cash out and put the 490k in the bank and earn 5% ($22,500) per year or have a net cash flow of $1,800/year in a deflating housing market....Assuming in 10 years from now the home is fully paid off AND the fmv of the home in 2016 is equal to current fmv of $725k....what would be the benefit of keeping the property?

$30 Million.I looked in the cookie jar, but can't find wheremy wife put that extra 30 million we had layingaround.StoneDetroit, what's this about?

Have you "added extras" like saying, "take me on part timeand I'll redo your website for free"?

Many people WILL pay regular income taxes on the net income you earn, but others will receive passive income treatment.

Is it true that you have to pay brokerages monthly fees like these plus the the commission earned upon sale of the properties?

Also you have the ability to earn extra income with our Lending company that will process all the loans you generate and give you 35% of lending cost.

Pay off your debt and do not add extra debt.How do you save money?

You can get capital gains tax treatment if you sell it after living in the house for 2 out of 5 years (READ: KEEP AN EXTRA $1000+ FOR EVERY $10,000 IN PROFIT).Make it nice (visit your neighbors that have nice looking houses), not over the top, and take care of the house while you're living in it.
