the nice thing about real-estate leverage is that your house isn't marked-to-market so you don't have to worry about getting pushed out of your position by temporarily falling prices |

Date: March 31st, 2018 4:27 PM Author: shimmering electric bbw knife and you would do a 30-year 4.25% fixed over a 15-year 3.75% fixed? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3922029&forum_id=2#35732311) |

Date: March 31st, 2018 5:02 PM Author: supple sanctuary affirmative action yes, where else can you borrow money for an extra 15 years at 4.25% other than on your primary house? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3922029&forum_id=2#35732454) |

The only path to financial freedom is a high income where you can save a shitload. It's not by earning 1.5% arbitrage on your mortgage rate through risky equity investments (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3922029&forum_id=2#35732310) |

Date: March 31st, 2018 4:49 PM Author: blue provocative stage water buffalo It doesn't have to be a protracted bear market, things could just sort of plug along flat Japan-style. Or if we happen to have a huge correction in the first year or two after you begin your arbitrage play. The timing of shit years is really important for relatively short horizons, even if the average return ends up being decent.
Most pension funds -- which are as long-term as it gets -- are expecting lower returns and turning more conservative. |
