I think what you meant to say was SOME college degrees provide little in the way of transferable real life skills and SOME degrees cost way more than they provide in value.   

Also, I would recommend finding a real estate agent that you trust, and also start talking to lenders (banks, mortgage brokers, credit unions, etc.)

When I search there are some commercial NNN properties which are around or over $1MM with corporate guaranteed leases for atleast 10 years and goes up to 20 years (like Fast food Restaurant chains, Banks, medical offices etc).

If less than that, let's say 80%, you deduct 80%. 2) if you use the money for the personal purpose, it is not deducted. let's say you use remaining 20% from above eg on a car, you can't deduct that. 3) if you hold the money at the bank that is your rentals bank account for future repairs and capex, it is deductible at the rental level.

So far I'm finding banks that will lend 75% on the sales price, not the ARV.

Banks don't know what they are listing, they are wrong about property size, # of bedrooms or bathrooms, occupied status.

If your lender has not already pulled your pay stubs, banks statements, W2s and tax returns - like the "instant" pre-approvals issued by Rocket Mortgage and Quicken - it's garbage.3.

We are in the process of purchasing our first 8 plex building in McAllen, Texas using a small bank 75% Loan to Value commercial loan.

There was just one BIG problem that I hadn’t anticipated…One of my banks, at which my personal unsecured credit line is 40k, suddenly was no longer offering the 0% interest balance transfer promotion!

I'm looking for a local bank recommendation in the St.
