You probably already have a sense of this from running your business and owning commercial properties, but one thing that can really influence how successful your strategy is understanding how all your income streams work together from a tax perspective, especially as you plan for retirement. 

Hey Robert, I would like to recommend something that I have found helpful.Very simple- go to a mortgage calculator online (a free one that does not require you to input any information about yourself)- take the amount of $100,000 as your purchase price, and play with the variables- hold everything constant, but vary your down payment amount (5%, 10%, 20%, etc) and see what that does to the mortgage amount- then hold everything constant and do the same for interest rate (4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, etc)By doing this on a simple amount of $100,000, you can begin to see the magnitude of changes to down payment and interest rateDepending on the situation, this may end up surprising you.

How much time are you wasting constantly finding new teaser rate cleaners?
