next up, I took the cash out and stuck it in an online savings account currently earning 2%, so my net cost of borrowing (not factoring tax ramifications or other) is .75%. that will go lower as rates go up. where the fk can you borrow money at .75%
on house two, its current value is mid 2 millions. if I chose to do so it would rent for >125,000 per summer season. the carrying cost is a mere 4200 per month.
none of this factors my ability to earn, my savings, or demand in the areas I own which could give me a fairly easy exit.
just because you and el douche bag think its a bad idea doesnt make it so.
