Why I’m Buying Rental Property While Still In Debt
I mentioned in my review of April that I’ve been considering purchasing another investment property. I’ve come to this decision after a very long thought process and a multitude of discussions with my brother. We’ve crunched the numbers together and what came out at the end made so much sense to us, that I’m willing to share it here with you.
If you listen to the news, it would make you run in the opposite direction of buying property at a time when you probably should be running directly to real estate. Apparently many of you do not watch the news either because, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban development, existing home sales were up 5.3% in the first quarter of 2012 versus the same time last year. The housing affordability index is at its best, because of low housing prices and record low mortgage interest rates. The average interest rate for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage was 3.88% during the first quarter of 2012. If you’re in a stable financial position and have been waiting for the right time, now might just be the best time to buy.

To Rent or Buy?
To Rent or to buy? That is the question.
In recent years, the housing market has taken a significant and seemingly abrupt nosedive. While this is bad news for homeowners and home buyers, it is not such bad news for those who are looking to rent a home.

Tenant From Hell Threatens Me
I know that I haven’t updated you on my entire weekend with my tenant from hell, but I promise you that a long and detailed post on it is coming up. I just couldn’t pass this one up. Today is June 30 and I came in to my office to a voicemail from my tenant threatening me with legal action because I changed the locks on my house…the house that she moved out of…from last weekend. This is the same house that she assured me that she no longer had anything in and was completely finished with.
