You don't need to be a borrower or lender to be affected by changing interest rates.

I typically do windows before siding, as replacement windows may not fit exactly, and you may find that you have visible stops, framing or trim pieces after you replace them.

I have heard from some investors who bid everyday that the HUD asset managers told them to stop bidding so much.

Also, the yearly inspections can drive you nuts as they change inspectors and each inspector has little nit picky preferences, and they stop paying your rent if you don't comply within their time frame, in my case it's a month after the inspection, and they don't care even if your repairman had to reschedule or wait for a part to come in.

Presumably the loan was used to either purchase an asset or pay down another liability, so it should be offset.For example, if you borrowed $50K, I'd show the 401k balance minus the $50K or the full 401k balance with a liability entry for $50K.

Ali Boone,A friend of mine purchased a Condo, at the height of the Market, on the West Coast of Florida.As part of the deal, it came with a tenant with a one year lease.After the year had passed, my friend stopped receiving the "guaranteed" rent.The developer took that tenant and put them in another Condo,and sold that Condo with the same guarantee.My friend had to find another tenant, and because the rental market had collapsed, she had to drop the rent.

Mehran thanks for the podcast I cant stop listening lol

Chris,Stop your consideration.

Would you try to borrow as much as you can keeping your valuable cash in your pockets or would you come out big with your savings and not have a mortgage?

If anyone wanted to borrow our money and sent us to a website to learn about themselves or their operation, we would likely ignore them.
