I'm pretty excited to get this off my back.Before anyone comes at me with how this is not a wise decision given the time value of money and potential compound growth, just know I am completely aware that I could have invested this money at a higher interest rate and "put it to work" rather than paying down my 4.5% loans, but it was more of a freedom from this non asset-based debt that I was wanting to  get rid of. 

NACA is a non-profit which originates $0 down mortgages that can include rehab costs on 1-4 family properties.
