Having real, tangible assets makes me feel a whole lot better about the situation than relying on the stock market and a 401(k) to be useful.Speaking of podcasts, after listening to Podcast 14, I want to thank Ben Leybovich for the inspiration to aim high and be more specific and intentional in our business plan.

Must be something about the IT field -- I work with accounting software for a living.

Maybe you will get lucky, own it for the next 21 years, pay it off and actually have a valuable asset.

I have different asset classes in different states so there is a reason I am so spread out.

You could also do a second on another property, or several others.I'd suggest too that you start looking at a blanket mortgage on several properties (with a release fee on each) and begin consolidating the debt to free you up for financing.Creative financing is utilizing the assets you have to leverage a deal within the boundaries of conventional requirements, the rules and regs, not getting wild with schemes. :)

Companies won't touch anything without invoicing and charging and all that sh-- (pun intended).For the statements, I don't know what it is about all the property management software out there, but I can never understand what in the world the statement is saying to me.

But when they're paid off, you have an asset that's producing as much as a rental can.A lot depends on where you invest.

Hopefully he has some assets you can go after and I would have a confessed judgment against him as secondary recourse.

I work for an insurance quoting software company and we work with agents all of the time writing these policies across the country.

Assets are irrelevant.Medicade: Health insurance for the poor.
