Yeah, I know I can stay here but there are two reasons I'm not.  1) Since I'm starting with a modest amount of cash, I will need to reduce operating costs by doing all the re-hab/maintenance myself.  

In short, if you buy a cash flowing property wisely, you could be able to take out the full or at least a half of you monthly installment from it, thereby reducing the burden on your pocket.Gold or any other precious metal won’t help you meeting your daily or monthly expenses.

I bought this place as a REO for about 55% of the current, reduced price.

All right, I need some help.I have the opportunity to bid on a property that has been reduced on price about 17.6%.

We've found this recipe, at least down here, reduces turnover and has provided us with some great tenants.

Thing was only there for about a month and hadn't even been set to price reduced. 

My strategy is to buy & hold.Now, I'm trying to figure out whether I'm better off paying the 30-year loan in 15 years thus reducing some of my investments elsewhere, like a Roth IRA since I've maxed out my 401k.

I am interested in "House Hacking" to reduce if not eliminate my mortgage payments.I would like to have the ability to move out of this property in a few years and rent it for passive income.

Recently my account was temporarily suspended for violating the forum rules because I had a link to the following disclosure, but I was only trying to reduce my liability and stay legal:  Arizona law regulates how real estate licensees can advertise through the department of real estate, and it would likely consider forums a form of advertising.

In general, debt reduction isn't as bad for us as many tend to think here on BP.Instead of buying more tenants and toilets I took some cash and reduced monthly payments by about $3300 last year.
