well, in theory, in 10-15 years rents will go up, and your fixed rate mortgage won't. 

I'm 17 years old and pursuing my goal: financial freedom at a young age.

Too many people think short-term, hence why many tenants will always be tenants.Why a 50-year mortgage and not a 40-year mortgage?

Im a 32 year old southern New Jersey native (Winslow Township).

Year 5?

You may have been better off just holding on to your old business.I wouldn't just listen and follow 100% to what your accountant tells you.

Quote from @Luke Mertz: I'm a 16 year old kid and I'm really into real estate.

As we get close to the end of the year, a lot of investors are trying to squeeze in one more deal.What are you all focusing on right now—acquisitions, rehabs, refinancing, or prepping for Q1?

My focus is on investor acquisitions, new construction, rentals, and property management support across Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Alva, and Naples.I close over 40 transactions a year with $45M+ in volume, and I assist many long-distance investors needing a reliable local partner.

It's a common misconception that you need to do a cost seg before year end, although I think less people are falling into that trap.
