30 year loan (say 5% interest) paid off in 15 years will be less expensive than a 15 year loan with same interest

depends on how bad the foundation issue is.  make sure you get a licensed and insured contractor

We have a large portfolio that we began 40 years ago during the 18% Int Rates. Never looked back. Our Vet is into commercial so we spend 10 minutes on the dog & 15 on REI.

 I'd love to hear more about cashflowing with 18% interest

From an investment point of view, dump it

 how are they doing? turnover cost isn't killing you?

we fixed through snaking with a plumber temporarily. its been two months and no backflow. but i will need to replace the pipe from house to main sewer. 

i have a tenant in cordova leave after one year and left the house dirty and cosmetic rehab needed 

the joys of being an OOS landlord lol.

Thats why you own 15 to spread risk.  It’ll take me roughly 3-4 years from now to hit that same number. If I do that I’ll be in my late 20s lol

 funding yourself, or using partnerships/private money/etc.?
