My goal is to put my family in a better place to become financially free.

After we accomplish that first goal we decided that we would take half a year off to spend it in California and Hawaii visiting family and friends.

You don't want to get stuck adhering to terms that don't fit with your goals just because the previous owner put them in place!

I am interviewing for some internships at commercial real estate brokers for next summer, but my ultimate goal down the road is to be someone who invests in and manages properties full time.

My ultimate goal is to acquire rental properties so that is what I seek to do first.While I've had a few properties under contract I haven't closed any deals yet.

The higher the interest rate on the loan the faster you want to pay it back in general. 

I could get out of debt a lot faster if I can assign contracts and make extra cash. 

Well, it has been a crazy ride - but I run a Real Estate Holding Investment Company called GreyHill Capital Holdings and we buy residential multi-families throughout the upstate area.Our goal is to enter a town with potential, buy as many solid properties as we can and make it our main priority to always give our investors the highest returns possible.

Gerald, you can't personally use the property that your IRA owns, however, if your goal is to buy the property in your IRA now and use it sometime down the road that would be possible.

If anyone reading this just so happens to have that bone please reply so that we can see if our goals align and i can become a landlord very soon.
