I always said I couldn't be a landlord because if I scooped 50lbs of dogshit off of a 3 month old carpet I paid for I'd go to jail.

Looking ahead, it's more realistic to make a small, steady profit 10 years from now....college money, car payment level money. I haven't closed on 1 and I'm already looking at 2.

Time is my biggest problem. Too many hustles to go along with a good job and busy family life.

I bought most of my properties with 100% financing. 20% from the owner and 80% from the bank.

How long do you typically finance them for?

Do you avoid PMI because the owner is financing your 20% downpayment? Or is it because you are financing with a non-conforming loan with a higher interest rate?

15 years with the bank

with the owners for the 20% I offer them a 5 year balloon ammoritized for a 15 year payout but normally give them a higher interest rate like 8% to help motivate.

I never ever ever ever do a 30 year loan.

I avoid PMI because it costs money.

I'm clear on why you want to avoid PMI I'm just unclear on the how. It's like people buying condos out here and saying they don't pay association dues because they're a ripoff. Okay...go on...

Rentals can be tough if you only have 1 or 2 and the reason is they normally don't generate enough cash flow. A hot water heater replacement can cost you $1000 and if you're clearing $50 /month on a rental after Principal/Interest/Taxes and Insurance well then two rentals will pay for that one water heater in a year. My break seemed to have come at 10 rentals to cover itself without having to pull money out of my pocket. but keep in mind I was at 100% financing too.

Anyhow... Maybe I used a wrong buzz word or something. A regular brokerage account in her name cannot play the options market. So in that case... she will learn about investing and I"ll see what she can do and she will either fail or succeed but it'll be her choice.

Thanks for your input.
Absolutely, and I wasn't trying to offend you. Just looking at things a different way. Wasn't sure of your investing background. Sounds like you know more than I originally thought you did.

That being said there are plenty of index and ETF funds that can be bought in brokerage account. I'd lean that way if you're planning to have her invest. TD Ameritrade has 100+ index and ETF funds that trade for free. Might start there.

Hogfarmer can answer this more but here's my thoughts.

Financing a house will obviously give you the tax advantage of the interest paid on the mortgage for the year. However, seeing as you'll rent this and have a new line of income, you'll have to pay taxes on this income. I'd have no idea of the tax advantage of the mortgage interest over how much income you'd generate though. Maybe Hogfarmer can answer that?

It is a different type of investment though and is fairly liquid, especially when comparing to a 401k. I would never do it because of what Hog Farmer mentioned, maintenance cost. Being unhandy like myself, I'd have to contract out all the work. If you're handy, like you are, and can do most of the maintenance, you can make way more money.

If your sole goal is to lower your taxes, having your wife max out her 401k for the year ($18,000), decreases your taxable income by that exact amount.

Yeah, it would have to be a 15 for it to work for me. I'd be lucky to live another 30 years. Just a matter of the monthly rent covering the payment. I haven't really crunched any real numbers yet to see if that's realistic.

I wouldn't be at 100% financing. I'd probably be looking at 25% or so down for a lower payment so there's some extra money to help cover costs. As I mentioned, I'm not concerned so much with month to month income, I'm more interested in a place to put some money besides the 401k.

That does seem like the easiest, most practical thing to do. I just hate having all our eggs in one basket. You can hardly lose on real estate in the midwest. But there certainly will be headaches I'm sure. There's a reason most renters are renters, and I deal with the worst of the worst every day.
