More Model Comparisons for Connecticut
The following are the various scenarios we ran summarized with Connecticut cities highlighted.
- Is it better to put 20% down or 25% down when buying rentals? - First, we buy an owner-occupant property with 5% down then we start buying rental properties. Should we put 20% down for buying the rentals or 25% down. See how putting 20% down or 25% down does as we model it across the US in over 300 cities.
- Is it better to put 20% down or 25% down when buying rentals when you don't buy an owner-occupant property first? - We start buying rental properties immediately... even before we buy an owner-occupant property. Should we put 20% down for buying the rentals or 25% down. See how putting 20% down or 25% down does as we model it across the US in over 300 cities.
- Is it better to put 20% down and buy rental properties or Nomad™ with 5% down to acquire 10 rentals? - Will you be able to be financially independent faster and with less risk if you buy just an owner-occupant property with 5% down then buy up to 9 more rentals by saving up 20% down payment for each one, or is it better to acquire 10 properties by putting 5% down for each one using the Nomad™ strategy.
- When Nomading™ should you consider selling ALL your rentals if it means you'd be able to invest in stocks, bonds or something else and live off these investments using a Safe Withdrawal Rate instead of the cash flow from rentals? - You could acquire a portfolio of rentals utilizing the Nomad™ real estate investing strategy and wait for the cash flow to be great enough for you to be able to achieve financial independence from the cash flow. But, what about the equity in your properties? Would it be better for you to sell off all the rentals and take the net proceeds after all the expenses and invest that in something else. Then, live off these other investments using a Safe Withdrawal Rate?
- Is it better to put 25% down and buy rental properties or Nomad™ with 5% down to acquire 10 rentals? - Will you be able to be financially independent faster and with less risk if you buy just an owner-occupant property with 5% down then buy up to 9 more rentals by saving up 25% down payment for each one, or is it better to acquire 10 properties by putting 5% down for each one using the Nomad™ strategy. 25% down has a slighter better interest rate than 20% down.
