Nomad™ vs 20% or 25% Down Rentals

Compare Down Payments

In the Baseline you're self-managing your properties. What if you hired a property manager and paid them 10% of gross rents collected?

Compare Self-Management to Professional Property Management

Buying at a Discount or Paying a Premium

In hot seller's real estate markets, you may be asked to pay a premium above current Fair Market Value. In softer buyer's real estate markets, you may be able to more easily buy properties at a discount from the current Fair Market Value.

What difference does that make on your journey toward financial independence?

Does being able to get a 5% discount or 10% discount really have a signficiant impact? What is the cost of paying a 5% premium or 10% premium to get your offer accepted and buy properties in hot markets?

Compare Buying at a Discount/Premium

Having a Real Estate License

What if you got your real estate license?

You could get a discount equal to your commission or choose to earn the commission when you buy effectively reducing the amount you need for your down payment by the commission amount.

Compare Getting a Real Estate License

Better or Worse Rents

What if you were able to get slightly better or slightly worse rents? What impact does that have?

You could get 10% lower rents or maybe just 5% lower rents.

Or, perhaps you could do a little better marketing, find slightly more desirable properties and get get 5% higher rents or totally crush it and manage to get 10% higher rents.

Compare Higher or Lower Rents

Short-Term Rental

What if you decide to focus on short-term rentals?

Sure your expenses to run the property would go up, but could you get 25% higher rents, 50% higher rents, or even 75% higher rents?

Compare as Short-Term Rentals

Mortgage Interest Rate

What if you're able to get a slightly better (or worse) mortgage interest rate?

Getting a .5 lower mortgage interest rate or even a modest .25 lower mortgage interest rate could impact your cash flow and ability to achieve financial independence. Getting a .25 higher mortgage interest rate or a .5 higher mortgage interest rate could slow down your journey to financial independence.
