No offense to Ohio but they are usually in the top 10 most expensive states for property taxes, along with Texas.

We paid for the property in cash and plan to pay cash for the rebuild.  

Look at any graph youwant, but just realize what really matters is what your "ONE" property is worth.5yr term isn't bad, but you need to have a solid plan to get that paid back.brrr is a great strategy, however, its difficult to pull off 100%. 

The money the business pays you in salary is a deductible expense.

HI Hernan,You can always start off by house hacking meaning you live in one UNIT or ROOM and renting out the other vacant units/rooms to offset your monthly mortgage payment.There are several ways to run and make sure you are maximizing your rental income while keeping your living expense as low as possible.

Not to mention the emotional toll it takes on a property owner and the aftermath of finally getting your property back then perform expensive repairs.

To hit that $11K per month I plan on having all my properties paid off. 

This difference could be invested directly in real estate, potentially yielding higher returns.Long-Term Commitment: Whole life insurance is designed to be a permanent policy, with the expectation that premiums will be paid for the policyholder's entire life.

I can buy  5 more properties with 30% down and still have a decent bit left over for repairs and expenses.  

For someone like me who wants to buy and hold long term with an exit strategy of turning properties into pensions some day when I'm old by selling through seller finance when the properties are paid off - $1,000 cash flow per month with low or no down payment and 1% interest is the perfect deal for me.
