What I Wish I'd Known Before I Started Investing
Taking exit strategies into account...
Our downpayment on a buy-and-hold OC condo 4 years ago was over $200k. We owe a little over $100k on it. Its value has increased by at least $100k since we bought it, but if we were to sell it and not do a 1031, we'd only get something like $80k back after taxes and commission.
As much as I love real property, I would've leaned toward investing in notes.
