Learn the secrets of catching up on saving for retirement in Clarksville... with an emphasis on using real estate investing. This class is Module 11 of 46 in a series called Real Estate Investing Secrets . Topics covered in this module include: What do you do if you wake up one morning and realize that you’re behind on saving for retirement? What can you do to get back on track? Or, better yet, what can you do to get ahead? Where do most of us begin? What should we do as our first step? What should we try to avoid? What should we aim for ideally? And, what is the end goal? Why “WHAT” you do with your money matters—especially when catching up on retirement saving. The three primary buckets for catching up... The bucket you can rely on the least and why you have little to no control over that bucket... but the one thing we can do to increase our chances with this bucket. A simple discussion of the second bucket... and what’s one little thing—with the dirty B word—that you can do to help jumpstart your catch up. What are the ways we can increase earnings to help us catch up saving for retirement? A discussion on why time saving for retirement does not seem linear: it doesn’t usually take you 10 times longer to save a million than it takes to save $100K. In fact, it may only take you 3 times as long—or less... with the math proving this to be true. A little trick to get that first $100K faster, easier and with less risk than you imagined A discussion of the last 150 years of S&P 500 annual returns... including some surprising facts about what is normal investing in stocks. How does the last 150 years of S&P 500 annual returns compare to the last 133 years of real estate appreciation? Which one is better? Why do I say that? But, what about leverage? What if we leverage when investing in the S&P 500? What if we leveraged investing in real estate? But, what about the 3 other areas of return with real estate investing... cash flow, debt paydown and tax benefits? How do those come into play? How risky is investing in real estate for appreciation? A preview of upcoming module on risk and specifically our Risk Matrix: Appreciation to understand how likely you were to see property values increase and by how much plus how likely you were to see property values decline and by how much. What might you expect to earn from an unleveraged rental property purchased for all cash? How does the return on investment vary for the same property depending on how you finance it (5% down, 15% down, 20% down, 25% down, 30% down, 40% down and all cash or 100% down). How does the return vary if you opt to utilize a vastly improved cash flow strategy like Nomad™ to Short-Term-Rentals? How can this impact your ability to catch up for retirement? The briefest introduction to a future module on return on equity. Plus much more... Check out the video and additional resources related to Secrets of Retirement Catch-Up .

Is It Better to Buy Rentals with 25% Down or All Cash After Buying an Owner-Occupant? 31:24

36 weeks sitten31:24

31:24

So, are you stressing out over higher mortgage interest rates and properties not cash flowing as well as they used to, or in some markets, not having positive cash flow at all... even with 25% down? What's a real estate investor seeking financial independence to do? In this class, we will compare two strategies. In both strategies, you first buy an owner-occupant property with a 5% down payment to live in. Then, in the first strategy, you save up for a 25% down payment and buy a rental property. You repeat this process, stopping only when you own 9 rental properties. In the second strategy, you take extra time to save up until you have enough to buy the property for all cash... 100% down payment. While it takes longer to save up to buy a property for all cash, having a free and clear property, or two or three, with great cash flow makes saving up for subsequent rentals easier and faster. You repeat this process, stopping only when you own 9 free and clear rental properties. We model this in over 300 US cities using each city's property values, rents, taxes, insurance, etc. And, we use today's interest rates. Which strategy gets you to financial independence the fastest? Which gives you a higher net worth? Which is riskiest? Which should you utilize? Find out in this special class.

Warning - Risks of Rental Demand Declining When Investing in Real Estate Risk, risk, risk... Life is full of risks. To a limited degree, we get to choose which risks we voluntarily take on. For example, if you choose to invest in real estate, you choose to take on some additional risks that you might not—directly—face if you opt to invest in something else with its own set of risks. One risk when investing in real estate is the risk that the property you buy as a rental experiences a decline in rental demand, which often leads to a reduction in the rent you are getting. What are some things we can do to eliminate or mitigate this risk in advance of seeing possible rental market demand declining, and what are some things we can do after demand softens?

Private Mortgage Insurance Myths Reputation can be a challenging thing. I have found, through many conversations with clients over the years, that Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) has a questionable reputation with home buyers in general and investors in particular. However, much of its reputation is based on half-truths, bad information, lies, and myths. In this special class, James will discuss some of the more common myths about PMI and the truth about what PMI is, and why its reputation is misguided and/or misunderstood. In this class, James discusses: What is Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) and why does it exist? The following myths: PMI is always required for down payments less than 20%. PMI is permanent and can never be removed. PMI is the same as homeowner's insurance. PMI protects the homeowner, not the lender. PMI is tax-deductible. PMI protects the borrower in case of job loss or disability. PMI is the same for all borrowers and loans. PMI premiums are fixed for the life of the loan. PMI is always monthly, always paid as a lump sum at closing, and/or always paid by the lender in exchange for a higher interest rate. PMI rates are set by the government. PMI is required for all types of loans. PMI is only required for first-time homebuyers. PMI is only required for single-family homes. PMI is only required by big banks. PMI is always cheaper than a second mortgage. PMI pays off my house if I die with a mortgage. PMI increases the monthly mortgage payment. PMI is a waste of money. Refinancing is the only way to get rid of PMI. Lenders benefit from PMI. PMI covers the full mortgage amount. You should always pay PMI Monthly. You should always pay PMI in a single up-front, lump-sum payment. You should always take a higher interest rate and have the lender pay PMI. Plus much more...

Is it Better to Pay Off Properties with Cash Flow or In Full When Nomading™? 36:00

In many cases—not all, but many cases—real estate investors can speed up the time it takes to become financially independent by choosing to pay off the mortgages on their properties early. Sometimes it makes sense to take every extra dollar beyond a healthy amount of reserves and aggressively pay off properties as quickly as possible. Other times, it might be better to invest money that you have earmarked to pay off properties in something else—like the stock market, for example—until you have enough to completely pay off the mortgage in one single large payment. In this mini-comparison class, we will look at the difference between these two different approaches: paying off properties with extra cash flow or only paying in full when Nomading™ over 300 US cities.

Deal Alchemy™ - Residential vs Commercial Property Deal Alchemy™ is all about manipulating the returns you're earning on your investments. Often, this is done through the choices we make when selecting the investment property and the strategies we choose to implement. For example, you could choose to invest in residential properties where your tenants would live in the property. Alternatively, you could choose to invest in commercial properties where your tenants do not live in the property. Often, these investments would have different numbers and characteristics, such as who pays taxes, insurance, and maintenance on the property. However, for the sake of today's mini-class, we will look at just the difference in the tax benefits of depreciation in two identical investments, except one is residential and the other is commercial, to see how that impacts your overall returns.

Warning - Risks of Loan Called Due When Investing in Real Estate Investing in real estate adds some risk to an already risk-filled life. However, certain activities and strategies when investing in real estate create additional risks that other strategies and activities do not have. For example, choosing to utilize strategies where the lender has the right to call a loan due—like many types of creative financing, using home equity lines of credit, and many commercial loans—adds the additional risk of possibly having loans on your properties called due and payable in full. Add in the fact that these often coincide with the most extreme market conditions, and it can be a recipe for disaster for you as a real estate investor... a perfect storm of sorts... extreme market conditions where refinancing or selling can be near impossible or at least impractical, and the lender forcing you to do just that very thing at the same time. In this mini-class, James will discuss the risk of loans being called due, what we can do about it, and how to mitigate or eliminate that risk completely. In this class, James discusses: A George S Patton quote about fear, risks and making decisions. When are loans called due?

How to Calculate PMI If you're planning to buy a property and put less than 20% down, you're likely to be required to pay Private Mortgage Insurance. Lenders prefer that you put at least 20% down, but if you insist on putting less than 20% down, they may still make the loan. However, they will usually do so at a slightly higher mortgage interest rate for taking on more risk and require that you pay a third party to insure them in case you default. This insurance you pay to the third party is called Private Mortgage Insurance. But how much is it? The easiest way to find out is to call your lender and have them calculate it for you. But, if you insist on calculating it yourself—or you prefer to know some of the factors involved in how to lower the cost of private mortgage insurance for yourself—in this mini-class, James will walk you through how to do the calculation yourself.

Investing in real estate is full of truthy-sounding falsehoods: it is always better to do X than Y. However, if you were crazy enough to sit down and do the math, you'd find the truth to be much more nuanced. For example, should you take all your extra cash flow and savings and apply it to your mortgages each month to pay off rental properties faster? And if you do, is that a faster path to financial independence? Does it result in your having a higher overall net worth? A higher overall standard of living in retirement? Is it less risky to do that? That's what we will discuss in this special comparison class. I have analyzed over 300 US markets for someone utilizing the Nomad™ real estate investing strategy in two flavors. In one group, they do the traditional Nomad™ model and do not pay anything extra to pay off their mortgages early. In the other group, they do Nomad™ but they apply extra cash flow toward paying off their properties early. Which group performs better in the metrics we outlined above? Is it universally better?

Is It Better to Pay Off Your Owner-Occupant Mortgage When Nomading? 22:55

Most real estate investors consider themselves financially independent when the income from all of their investments exceeds their personal expenses. To achieve this, they need net positive cash flow from all rental properties after all expenses, any income generated from stocks, bonds, or other investments times a safe withdrawal rate, and any social security, pensions or annuities. On the expense side, they need to consider all personal expenses, such as food, taxes, insurance, entertainment, healthcare, and housing. If they have a mortgage on their personal residence, that would include their mortgage payment. However, paying off the mortgage effectively reduces the amount of income needed to cover expenses by the amount of the mortgage payment that no longer exists. If you have extra money invested in stocks, bonds, or other assets and could pay off your mortgage to achieve financial independence, it may be worth considering. This mini-class will explore the impact of paying off your owner-occupant mortgage and its effect on achieving financial independence faster than the traditional Nomad™ strategy. We will also examine how this decision could impact your net worth and compare the risks to the traditional Nomad™ strategy.

Buying Down Mortgage Interest Rates for Real Estate Investors There are several ways to improve cash flow on your rental properties. One option is to put more money down to reduce the amount you borrow. In some cases, this can also improve your interest rate by lowering your overall loan-to-value. However, when comparing putting more money down to buying down the mortgage interest rate, it is usually better to buy down the interest rate for any reasonable holding period. This is true from both a return on investment and improved cash flow perspective. Learn more about buying down your interest rate in this mini-class. Check out the video from this class here: Buying Down Mortgage Interest Rates for Real Estate Investors - Video In this class, James discusses: Buying down mortgage interest rates when buying a rental property Improving cash flow by buying down your rate You can choose your interest rate by how much you're willing to pay or receive as a credit toward closing costs Rate changes for the life of the loan What's a point and how do they work?

Is it Better to Nomad™ or Buy Rentals All Cash? 36:41

Prices have gone up rapidly in the last few years. And, interest rates are much higher. And even though rents are up, they’re not up enough to counteract the much higher prices and much higher interest rates. That makes it harder to achieve good cash flow with a reasonable down payment. One way to overcome the impact of higher interest rates is to not use loans to buy rental properties. In this comparison mini-class James will compare the Nomad™ real estate investing strategy to taking the significantly longer extra time to save up and buy rental properties for cash. With the Nomad™ strategy, James will have you put 5% down and buy an owner-occupant property that you live in for at least a year until you’ve saved up the next 5% down payment plus closing costs and reserves. Then, buy another 5% down payment owner-occupant property and move into the new property. Convert the previous property to a rental. Repeat this process until you’ve acquired 10 properties total—9 of them rental properties you purchased with 5% down payments. When buying properties for cash, you’ll still buy your first property with 5% down payment and move in. But, after that, you’ll take the significantly longer time to save up 100% to buy a rental property all cash. And, free and clear properties without loans have much, much better cash flow than properties financing with 5% down. But, it takes a lot longer to save up to buy the first property. Keep saving until you buy up to 9 rentals all cash. Which strategy will get you to financial independence fastest? Which will get you the highest net worth? Which is riskiest? We will analyze this comparison for 305 US cities.

The Importance of Loan Planning for Real Estate Investors Real estate investing is a little like the game of Chess. You can play the game with an elementary understanding of the basic rules. But, you soon learn that just knowing how the pieces move about the board are the table stakes for being able to sit at the game board. If you want to do well, you need to start thinking about the consequences of your actions. And, not just the consequences of your actions for the immediate next move, but the consequences for moves multiple turns into the future. The same applies to real estate investing... you need to be thinking not just about the deal analysis and loan of the property right in front of you; that’s table stakes. You need to be thinking about what the consequences are for that property far off into the future and, if you’re good, for multiple properties and multiple loans into the future. That’s why loan planning is so important and why we’ll cover it in detail in this mini-class.

Hard Money and Private Money for Real Estate Investors Certain real estate investing strategies suggest certain types of financing.

House hackers and Nomads™ will often seek out low or zero down VA, USDA, FHA, and conventional financing options.

What is PMI And How to Avoid It You want to work with a lender so that you don't need to purchase a property with all cash. The lender is willing to lend you money, charging you interest to make a profit, and ensuring there is a safety buffer of equity in case you default and they need to foreclose to recover their funds. Your goal is to minimize the amount you need to invest in the deal to maximize your return on investment, but the lender requires a minimum down payment of 20% to feel secure in loaning you the money in case you default and they need to foreclose to recover the property and their money. You insist on putting down less than 20%. Reluctantly, they agree to let you put less than 20% down, but only if you purchase third-party insurance to protect them in case of default. You agree. The third-party insurance company is offering private mortgage insurance (PMI), which is insurance you pay to protect the lender in case you default because you put down less than 20%. In this mini-class, we will look at PMI, what it is, and how you can avoid it as a real estate investor.

Should you use the Nomad™ strategy to acquire properties with a minimal 5% down payment as quickly as possible? Or is it better to be a little more patient and save up for full 25% down payments and buy rentals without moving into each? By saving up for a 25% down payment, the properties will cash flow better. That may allow you to save up faster for subsequent properties and maybe... just maybe... ultimately be able to buy properties faster. If you're buying properties with a 5% down payment, there's a chance they could have negative cash flow—or what we often refer to as deferred down payment. Deferred down payments mean that it is slower to save up for the next property purchase. This could ultimately slow down how fast you can acquire properties. Of these two strategies—25% down payment rentals or 5% down Nomad™—which will lead to the fastest path to financial independence? Which leads to the highest net worth?

Sometimes buying rental properties is merely a means to an end: financial independence. Some folks don't want to hold onto their rental properties, manage them, or deal with the business of owning them when they achieve financial independence. Instead, they may prefer to have their money more passively invested in stocks. Can a real estate investor buy properties and hold onto them until they can sell off all the rentals, pay all their expenses of the sale—including closing costs, capital gains taxes, depreciation recapture taxes, and real estate commissions—then take the proceeds and invest in the stock market utilizing a safe withdrawal rate?

Wouldn't you rather have more certainty that your lender will perform and that you select a lender that will give you great service, with reasonable fees, and a great mortgage interest rate? Yes, it seems like a very reasonable expectation. In this mini-class, James will go over tips for selecting and getting mortgage quotes from lenders. Check out the video from this class here: Tips for Getting Mortgage Quotes from Lenders - Video In this class, James discusses: The best sources for finding a great lender Why choosing a random lender gives you a random chance of successfully closing on your property Who is responsible if the lender you choose does not perform?

The Return on Investment on Extra Down Payments You’re buying a rental property. You have more than you need for a down payment, closing costs and reserves. One option you’re considering is putting more down. Putting more down will often improve cash flow and Cash on Cash Return on Investment. The dollar amount of returns from Appreciation and Depreciation remain unchanged but, it can also lower your overall return on investment from Appreciation and Depreciation because your investment amount has changed. And putting more down changes how much debt you pay down and the amount you invested lowering your return on investment from debt paydown. In this mini-class, James will look at how putting more down changes your return on investment so you can make an educated decision as to whether it makes sense or not to put more down and see improved cash flow.

Property prices and interest rates are high, while rents are lagging. Cash flow is both more important and harder to achieve than ever, even with our 88 strategies to improve and maximize it. But a debate still remains: should you use smaller 5% down payments with the Nomad™ real estate investing strategy to acquire your rental properties, or should you save up 20% and buy non-owner-occupant properties at a slightly slower pace? In this special class, James will conduct a thorough comparison of the two strategies across 300 US markets, as the numbers vary depending on your local market's prices, rents, and income. Which strategy gives you a higher net worth? Which gets you to financial independence the fastest? Which is the safest, and which has the most risk? Plus much more. After attending this class, you should have a much clearer understanding of whether you should seriously consider the Nomad™ strategy or opt for a slightly slower pace with 20% down payments when acquiring up to 10 rental properties.

Low Down Payment Financing Options for Real Estate Investors 36:58

Low Down Payment Financing Options for Real Estate Investors Real estate investors often believe that minimizing their down payment leads to higher returns. This is partly true since a lower down payment means higher leverage, which amplifies returns. However, returns can be amplified both positively (when returns are positive) and negatively (when returns are negative or things don't go as planned). Although there may be additional low-down creative financing options available, there are a few traditional financing options that require a "low down payment." In this mini-class, we will cover these options. Check out the video from this class here: Low Down Payment Financing Options for Real Estate Investors - Video In this class, James discusses: FHA 3.5% down payment loans (especially for house hackers and Nomads™) Conventional 3% and 5% down payment loans (especially for house hackers and Nomads™) Low down payment financing options Creative financing Owner financing Wrap financing Loan assumption Rent to own, lease to own, lease-option, lease-purchase Installment land contract, contract for deed, etc Subject to Private money and hard money Local banks Plus much more...

Is It Better to Buy 20% Down Rentals or Invest in Stocks? 39:13

Property prices and interest rates are currently high, while rents are not keeping up. Achieving cash flow has become even more crucial and challenging than ever, despite our 88 strategies to maximize it. One common question that arises is whether it is better to purchase rental properties with 20% down payments or to invest in stocks. Buying rental properties with 20% down allows you to use leverage, which can significantly magnify both good and bad returns. Therefore, selecting the right investment property is crucial to your success or lack thereof. To be fair, you could also leverage yourself by investing in stocks to a lesser degree. However, we won’t be discussing this in this particular comparison class. Owning rentals requires a more active approach than passively investing in stocks. Is the extra work worth the extra effort? How much better or worse is it? In this special class, James will compare the two strategies across 300 US markets, as the numbers differ depending on local market prices, rents, and income. Which strategy - 20% down or stocks - leads to a higher net worth? Which gets you to financial independence faster? Which is safer, and which carries more risk? And much more. After attending this class, you should have a clearer understanding of whether you should seriously consider saving up 20% down payments to acquire up to 10 rental properties or take the easier route of passively investing in the stock market.

Is Creative Financing Really Nothing Down? Every real estate investor has heard stories of the amazing deals that can be found with creative financing, often involving instant equity from buying significantly below current fair market value with nothing down. While these deals do exist, they are not typical. So, what can an investor reasonably expect when it comes to creative financing deals that require no money up-front? In this mini-class, James tackles this question head-on and examines whether lease-option, subject to, owner financing, and other popular creative financing deals are truly nothing down or if they require some money up-front.

Nothing Down Financing Options for Real Estate Investors Some real estate investors are obsessed with investing in real estate with no down payment.

Is It Better to Buy an Owner-Occupant Property Then Put 20% Down or 25% For Rentals? 40:36

Property prices and interest rates are high, while rents are lagging. Cash flow is both more important and harder to achieve than ever, even with our 88 strategies to improve and maximize it. Another question common rises to the top of the list: I’m going to buy an owner-occupant property with 5% down first, but then… should you put 20% down when acquiring your rental properties, or should you save up a little more and put 25% down even if it means a slightly slower acquisition pace? Putting 25% down does get you a slightly better interest rate and because you’re borrowing less cash flow is slightly better too. Will that make up for having to wait a little longer saving up for slightly larger down payments? In this special class, James will conduct a thorough comparison of the two strategies across 300 US markets, as the numbers vary depending on your local market's prices, rents, and income. Which strategy—20% down or 25% down—gives you a higher net worth? Which gets you to financial independence the fastest? Which is the safest, and which has the most risk? Plus much more. After attending this class, you should have a much clearer understanding of whether you should seriously consider taking the extra time and effort to save up 25% down payments or push to acquire as quickly as possible with 20% down payments when acquiring up to 10 rental properties.

The World's Greatest Real Estate Deal Analysis Spreadsheet™ Updated 40:02

2 years sitten40:02

40:02

The World's Greatest Real Estate Deal Analysis Spreadsheet™ Updated I know this sounds controversial, but I'll say it because it is true: everyone else's deal analysis spreadsheet for buying rental properties is wrong. How? First, they don't take into account that you MUST have reserves to buy rental properties. A correct deal analysis spreadsheet will take into account both the return you earn on the reserves you need to set aside to prudently buy rentals and take those reserves into account when calculating your return on investment. The "investment" part of the "return on investment" calculation must include the reserves you need to set aside. The World's Greatest Real Estate Deal Analysis Spreadsheet™ does this correctly. Besides ignoring the fifth return... the one from reserves... hardly any deal analysis spreadsheets take into account the four areas of return: appreciation, debt paydown, Cash Flow from Depreciation™ and the one most do include... cash flow. The World's Greatest Real Estate Deal Analysis Spreadsheet™ does look at all 5 areas of return. If you happen to be in a market where it is difficult to cash flow with little or nothing down and you choose to put little or nothing down, you're likely to have negative cash flow. Negative cash flow is really deferred down payment... if you put more down, you could get rid of it. But sometimes investors choose to put little or nothing down and therefore choose to pay a deferred down payment (aka negative cash flow) over time. Well, if your spreadsheet does not correctly calculate you setting aside the cumulative negative cash flow you need to prudently, more conservatively make your investment... then it is not analyzing deals correctly. The World's Greatest Real Estate Deal Analysis Spreadsheet™ does allow you to model setting aside your cumulative negative cash flow to analyze your low down and nothing down deals with deferred down payments correctly. If your old deal analysis spreadsheet does not focus on return on equity... and more specifically your return on the equity you'd have net of all the expenses to access that equity like closing costs, real estate commissions, capital gains taxes, and depreciation recapture taxes... then it is not analyzing deals correctly. The World's Greatest Real Estate Deal Analysis Spreadsheet™ does look at your return on equity... and specifically your return on True Net Equity™ and the cost to access that equity. And if your deal analysis spreadsheet is useless after you acquire the property, it is doing it wrong. The World's Greatest Real Estate Deal Analysis Spreadsheet™ allows you to update the returns you're earning on your property over time to track the performance of your deal.

Are FHA Loans for Suckers? 56:57

You can purchase a property in Clarksville, Tennessee using an FHA loan with just 3.5% down. Heck, sometimes you can even get down payment assistance to help with the 3.5% down payment. But there are other loans with lower down payment options. However, when you put less than 20% down, FHA loans require you buy insurance to protect the lender in case you default on the loan. This insurance… called Mortgage Insurance Premiums (MIP) for FHA loans or the equivalent of Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) on other types of loans… has both an upfront premium and a monthly premium. And, with FHA loans this monthly premium NEVER goes away… even when you pay down the loan to well below 80% loan-to-value. With this Mortgage Insurance Premium (MIP) that never goes away… does that mean that FHA loans are for suckers?! Well… not so fast… in this class we will talk about the pros and cons of FHA loans and see if they’re really just a sucker’s loan or if Clarksville real estate investors could utilize FHA loans in a beneficial way.

Is Nomad Dead?! 2:03:57

This is a recording of a class I recorded way back in June, 2021 for our real estate investor group in Northern Colorado. So, why am I publishing a class that's over a year old on October 24, 2022? Over the last month, I've had several people suggest to me or ask me if in our current real estate market in Clarksville... a real estate market where... Prices are UP... A LOT! Interest rates are UP... A LOT! Demand has cooled off quite a bit. Rents are UP, but not THAT MUCH. Income is UP, but not THAT MUCH. Inflation is definitely HERE and likely to continue until the world... and yes... there is a worldwide inflation issue... not just in the US... gets it under control. ...if in that type of real estate market in Clarksville... should they even be considering buying properties? For example, yesterday I got the following email from a client: "So what’s your advice to buyer clients right now? Wait for prices to fall? Buy now but with cash? Use those builder incentive loans? Watch TV with the dog?" My response: watch the "Is Nomad Dead?!" class... that's still my answer. And, so I figured... I might share with you the class that I feel is a really solid start to the answer to the question... should I even be thinking about investing in real estate right now with the market... especially the real estate market in Clarksville... in its current state. One more thing before I share with you the class recording... while the answer I gave in the class is appropriate for today's real estate market... there is some additional nuance that I should... and probably will... take some time to add in future content I put out... so be sure to subscribe and be on the lookout for that. This episode was recorded to help real estate investors make better decisions about whether they should buy investment properties or not. Watch the video version of this class: https://realestatefinancialplanner.com/is-nomad-dead/ Resources Mentioned In this episode James mentions the following resources: Evaluating Mortgages and Comparing Lenders - Class on how to evaluate different mortgage options and compare different lenders.

With rising interest rates in Clarksville, some real estate investors wonder what's a reasonable mortgage interest rate to use when planning out their next purchases. This episode was recorded to help real estate investors better understand historical mortgage interest rates and what is reasonable to use when modeling future real estate purchases. If you're buying a property in the next 30-90 days... just call your lender and get the current mortgage rates. But, what interest rate should you use if you're thinking about buying 10 properties over the next 10 years? How confident are you using that rate? How confident should you be? James discusses this idea and shares with you a brand-new, super-simple spreadsheet called the Mortgage Interest Rate Confidence Meter™ that uses historic mortgage interest rate data to tell you how confident you should be using whatever interest rate you enter. Watch the video version of this class: https://realestatefinancialplanner.com/having-confidence-with-modeling-retirement-with-real-estate-investments/ Resources Mentioned In this episode James mentions the following resources: 30-Year Fixed Rate Mortgage Average in the United States from The Federal Reserve Download the Mortgage Interest Rate Confidence Meter™ for Microsoft Excel The World's Greatest Real Estate Deal Analysis Spreadsheet™ Free Real Estate Deal Analysis Spreadsheet: Download a copy of the newest version of The World's Greatest Real Estate Deal Analysis Spreadsheet™ by going to: https://RealEstateFinancialPlanner.com/spreadsheet Improve Cash Flow: Book a consultation to improve cash flow using our proprietary 88 cash flow improving strategies.
