Previously, in our series of Real Estate Investor Stories, we met Peter from Denver, Colorado. Previously, we has focused on buying ten 20% down payment rentals to achieve financial independence. Today, Peter is going to go consider saving up 25% instead of 20%. Why? Because the interest rate for 20% down payment loans is about 3.625% right (as I write this) and 25% down payments are 3.25%. Peter is wondering: Will waiting a little longer to save up for my down payment but getting a lower interest rate and borrowing less improve my cash flow and allow me to achieve … Read more
Over the last several weeks, I’ve been telling a series of unrelated Real Estate Investor Stories. Each story featured a different investor, their situation, their fears, their strengths, their resources and ultimately how their plan could have worked out based on output from the Real Estate Financial Planner™ software. Today, I am trying something different. One character, Peter, from Denver… considers a variety of different real estate investing strategies. In this first story, we meet Peter, a young professional in Denver seeking financial independence. About this first episode with Peter: Peter is starting with $25,000 in savings He has a … Read more

This is similar to Scenario 006 except in this Scenario we are adding in that you start collecting $2,000 per month (in today’s dollars) in May, 2040. We buy a home to live in with 5% down payment and lender-paid private mortgage insurance (PMI) instead and then a year later we buy a second home to live in, again with 5% down payment and lender-paid PMI. 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 … Read more
This is similar to Scenario 005 except in this Scenario we are buying 1 home to live in and 1 using the BRRR strategy. We buy a home to live in with 5% down payment and lender-paid private mortgage insurance (PMI). 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
This is similar to Scenario 005 except in this Scenario we are Nomading™ ten times. We buy a home to live in with 5% down payment and lender-paid private mortgage insurance (PMI) instead and then a year later we buy a second home to live in, again with 5% down payment and lender-paid PMI. 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. If we have less than $10,000 in reserves … Read more
This is similar to Scenario 004 except in this Scenario we are Nomading™ twice. We buy a home to live in with 5% down payment and lender-paid private mortgage insurance (PMI) instead and then a year later we buy a second home to live in, again with 5% down payment and lender-paid PMI. We convert the first one to a rental property. I will be adding to this page in a future revision, but wanted to get it posted for you now as I prepare additional Scenarios for upcoming classes I am teaching. Scenarios with Fixed Rate of Return on … Read more
