Either way pay off your debt quickly and build equity in the property with value added ideas - curb appeal, bedroom additions, rehabs, paint & paper and etc. 

There should be a paper trail of what was done and by whom. 

- but that's about a 17% difference in annual house sales, taken in comparison with a time when house sales were really in the toilet as we were coming on the tail end of the GR.

The numbers made sense on paper, but without proper tenants and the neighborhood not helping out, it was time to rethink my strategy.

They sell paper assets and can advise you why one may be better for you than another. 

Yes, I’m seeing more seller notes and discounted paper as high rates pinch buyers and owners; that’s opportunity if you stay picky.

A 50‑year mortgage boosts paper cash flow by stretching payments, but you trade it for far more total interest, slower equity build, and likely tighter prepay rules; that only makes sense if you’re buying a true cash‑flowing asset and need the lower payment to clear DSCR or reserves.

The result looks great on paper:“1.25 DCR — strong deal!”

The property is a bit old — I’d rate it around 3.5 out of 5 — but the numbers made sense on paper, and I had some buffer since I bought it below the appraised value.

I can imagine investors jumping on it pretty quickly especially if you can get a fixed rate for that time.It's just a matter of time now... 7 years on cars  20 years in personal planes  20 years on RVs and boats.. with out this long term financing those industries would be the in the toilet and how many 100k escalades would be sold ?
