You can also take advantage of this time and be able to BUY real estate at a low with all of this turmoil in the air!

(15% down, 2.875% 30 yr fixed, MIP $232/mo, $17k funds to close, $2300/mo payments)2: ARM: I'm nervous to have a rate that may be significantly higher in 5 years that will cut into my bottom line and I'd like to take advantage of the low rates now.

The way I understand it to take advantage of the tax breaks you use a self designated fund that you put those investments in.

This is surprisingly one of the most unknown tax advantages people don’t know about.

I read that letting tenants know you are the owner could allow them to take advantage of you.

It's hard to stand out.There are some owner-occupied segments with people who share motivating factors for selling their home.Seniors with Long-time Ownership: often ready to downsize or transition to assistance.Homeowners with Low Financial Stability Scores (FSS): Struggling financially and likely ready to cash in on their asset.Both these categories have additional advantages in that they probably don’t haven’t been updated and may have deferred maintenance.

The advantage is a very stable and reliable income stream with tax advantages and inflation protection combined with appreciation (assuming you buy in a good location).

My point of this post is to take advantage of interest rates while you can.

The big advantage of this area is, we have DC, MD and VA.

If so, what other advantages do they have over cc?
