Dear BP community,I have a very general but, i think, very fundamental question here.If i am looking to build up my rental income portfolio, what is the best strategy for me when it comes to mortgages; should i put down less of a down-payment but pay a higher interest rates or put down a bigger down-payment and pay a lower interest rates?

I have not met any business grads who learned the fundamentals of practical engineering on their own.There is one thing that has been repeated over and over in this thread - the world always needs engineers, and pays them well - which you can use as a kickstarter for your REI endeavors.If you absolutely hate engineering, you will find out very quickly in your coursework.

Sure on a small scale, but when you make a fundamental mistake (Have an uninformed seller call the state licensing board and you are not a member but selling their house...).

I disagree with City Heights improving significantly as I don't see the fundamentals there to support the transformation.
