It is NOT "understood here at BP" in any meaningful way.  

William Bannister - good points, balance is important, but I think the exercise is still meaningful.

but I ensure that anything I buy produces significant positive cashflow that contributes toward paying off the debt.Anyways - thanks for introducing yourself.

Browsing through the forums I know I can learn a great deal from all of you and if there is anything I can do to contribute to your success please let me know.

Another alternative would have been to refi all of the contributed cash out also, making the loan payment closer to $11K/mo, giving $9K/mo net cash without any money left in the deal.Someone will ask...why didn't you get your cash out and take the $9K/mo?

I look forward to become more involved on this site and would even like to contribute a guest post within the next couple of months!
