Post: Book on Leveraging Debt

Hi there,

I grew up with my parents being in so much debt. They started with nothing in a 3rd world country so they had to borrow money to finance all their businesses. I saw how much stress they were in and told myself that I would never borrow money. But now that I am getting into investing, I realize that to grow wealth you have to leverage on debt. So do you guys have any book recommendations on how I can get over that apprehension to borrowing money? Advice on the topic will also be much appreciated. Thank you.

@Luke Carl Hi Carl, how do you manage it from a distance? I’ve look into it and property managers are taking 20% of the profit. It is just to pricey.

We are trying to purchase a property from a couple who is having trouble keeping up with the mortgage on their new home. They have only been living there for less than a year. What deal can we do to purchase it but also help them avoid being taxed for selling their primary home too early?

@Nicole Lee Thanks for the response. I haven’t really looked into the Arizona Market yet. But I was mainly interested in Florida.
