Then an opportunity to buy a business fell in my lap, and while that initial opportunity didn’t work out, it opened my eyes to the fact that many businesses are not run efficiently or up to their potential.So I used brokers and eventually found a great business that I still own and run eight years later.

After the sale, he gave me about 17 back (the difference between the 60k mortgage and our agreed upon 43k price). 10 months later I’ve recovered my initial investment and I’m cash flowing 350 a month and now have around 33k equity thanks to this market.

It is reassuring that my initial thought to go with the 20 year when I would typically do a 30 is justified based on the lower down payment.

Everything depends on how you were structured initially!

Property has a lot of upside in terms of appreciation and with it needing mostly cosmetic work, we are able to BRRRR and pull out a decent amount of our initial investment (which came from private money, HELOC and personal).

In my experience since time is money, I always hire out this initial process and have professional who does this regularly conduct a thorough feasibility study to tell me what's the best route to get me the biggest bang on a particular lot, look at Density allowances, etc.
