[@harpldlewis7764]

I just hate the single family home rental business! Everyone always assumes that the tenants will consistently pay their rents, and this is seldom the case. The only real estate rentals that make any sense to me is commercial rentals, where you are renting Office space to companies. Unfortunately, to get into this type of business you need to have deep pockets, or you need to be in partnership with maybe two or three other investors. I don't understand why people who have such great incomes can't see that if they would just live a little frugal for a while and invest a significant portion of their income in the stock market or a mutual fund for just a few years, and then reduce the amount slightly, they would be well on their way to building significant wealth over a ten year period. In this example, these people should be investing about $60,000 per year!

[@ChrisCardenDrums]

So he's got 200 in equity on rental a, paid for rental b, and I'm assuming because he said nest egg that's not just 60 sitting in a savings account somewhere. 130 in debt between rental b and his personal non mortgage debt making 275 a year at work. I gotta disagree with Dave, it'd be different if they made 90. Sell the one you owe 450 on, take that 200k and put yourself at 4 5 and 6. Every penny from the rental plus more going toward their primary mortgage and they knock it out in 18 months to 2 years easily. Then you're piling cash and looking for the next real estate deal.

Why does Dave hate it when people have real estate? His renters are paying the mortgage, taxes, maintenance. Dave is always bring up his story from decades ago. But he hardly tells anyone that it was all his fault for taking out hard money loans.

Having rentals is great UNTIL the tenant can’t pay the rent.

Just bought a apartment and added $30k bank loan to my debt with a $279k mortgage 💸 -Still got a student loan: $5200/$17000 left -Car loan: $44k/$50k left current value $68k -Make about $100k after taxes -My roommate (girlfriend) makes about $33k after taxes We plan on getting married once we got the money. And the apartment need a new kitchen and bathroom (not going to do this until other debts are paid off)

You don't need an elaborate marriage to tie the knot, just sayin' :) Dave's advice would probably be to sell the car, buy one in cash, and target the debt with gazelle'ish intensity. Peace!
