Not a single teaching Christ has contradicts principles in the Old Testament.

Why not just assign an interest rate and pay her simple monthly interest payments; when you've "outgrown" the investment, you pay her the $50K principle.

Do you want to stand on principle and not get a loan, or do you want to pay the $966 and buy a home?

At that point, principle payments could potentially yield more return on your cashflow than investing in more property.Cash(flow) is king in today's economy.

I gather this discrepancy is chiefly due to the principle payments on my mortgage.

(what are you good at that other people need, charge for it)I have followed these principles and got out of a lot more debt that what you are talking about.

Cash on Cash return, Appreciation, Principle pay down, and tax benefits. 

I just got off the phone with a large and respected rental management company in this area and spoke to the Principle Broker (was thinking after all this to just go with a management company).She informed me that oral contracts are not binding in the State of Oregon for Real Estate, PERIOD!

….What’s the lender going to do if you fall below the minimum DSC one year, call for a principle reduction?

As I was looking for information on developing a mastermind group, I started reading (listening on audible really) to The Success Principles by Jack Canfield.
