Sample Scenario 011 – Investing $100,000 in CDs at Fixed 2.25% per Year

Sample Scenario 11 is very similar to Sample Scenario 9 except we are investing in certificates of deposit (CDs) instead of a savings account. We’ve also assumed that the rate of return on CDs are slightly better than the interest rate you’d earn investing your money in a savings account. In this Scenario we assumed that you are able to earn 2.25% per year investing $100K in CDs. Again, simple and easy. This Scenario was made so I could create the How to Invest $100K article where I compare investing $100K in a variety of different investments. This Scenario investing … Read more

Sample Scenario 010 – Investing $100,000 in Savings at Approximately 2% per Year

Sample Scenario 10 adds some complexity to Sample Scenario 9. In both Scenarios you are investing $100K in a savings account. However, in the previous Scenario, sample Scenario 9, the interest rate on the savings account was fixed at 2% for the entire Scenario. In this one, sample scenario 10, we’ve added a Rule that makes the rate of return for the savings account variable. The Rule… and you can change these assumptions by copying it to your Planner™ and editing the Rule… will select a random number using a normal distribution curve between -.25 and .25 and add that … Read more

At the same time, we find a property that we can buy at a very large discount and purchase it with hard money. After a year of seasoning, we refinance the property with a rate and term refinance at a slightly higher rate than the 5% down owner occupant loan we got for our other purchase and leave no … Read more

We convert the first one to a rental property. We repeat this process waiting at least a year between each purchase to comply with the owner-occupant lender requirement to live in the property for at least a year.
