In many cases—not all, but many cases—real estate investors can speed up the time it takes to become financially independent by choosing to pay off the mortgages on their properties early.

Sometimes it makes sense to take every extra dollar beyond a healthy amount of reserves and aggressively pay off properties as quickly as possible. Other times, it might be better to invest money that you have earmarked to pay off properties in something else—like the stock market, for example—until you have enough to completely pay off the mortgage in one single large payment.

In this mini-comparison class, we will look at the difference between these two different approaches: paying off properties with extra cash flow or only paying in full when Nomading™ over 300 US cities.

Which one gets you to financial independence faster? Which one gives you a higher net worth? Which one is less risky?

Deal Alchemy™ - Residential vs Commercial Property

Deal Alchemy™ is all about manipulating the returns you're earning on your investments. Often, this is done through the choices we make when selecting the investment property and the strategies we choose to implement.

For example, you could choose to invest in residential properties where your tenants would live in the property. Alternatively, you could choose to invest in commercial properties where your tenants do not live in the property.

Often, these investments would have different numbers and characteristics, such as who pays taxes, insurance, and maintenance on the property. However, for the sake of today's mini-class, we will look at just the difference in the tax benefits of depreciation in two identical investments, except one is residential and the other is commercial, to see how that impacts your overall returns.

In this class, James discusses:

• The definition of alchemy
• What is Deal Alchemy™
• How to manipulate returns and move them between quadrants
• An example by purchasing a commercial property with 39-year depreciation schedule instead of a residential property with a 27.5-year depreciation schedule

Warning - Risks of Loan Called Due When Investing in Real Estate

Investing in real estate adds some risk to an already risk-filled life.

However, certain activities and strategies when investing in real estate create additional risks that other strategies and activities do not have.

For example, choosing to utilize strategies where the lender has the right to call a loan due—like many types of creative financing, using home equity lines of credit, and many commercial loans—adds the additional risk of possibly having loans on your properties called due and payable in full.

Add in the fact that these often coincide with the most extreme market conditions, and it can be a recipe for disaster for you as a real estate investor... a perfect storm of sorts... extreme market conditions where refinancing or selling can be near impossible or at least impractical, and the lender forcing you to do just that very thing at the same time.

In this mini-class, James will discuss the risk of loans being called due, what we can do about it, and how to mitigate or eliminate that risk completely.

In this class, James discusses:

• A George S Patton quote about fear, risks and making decisions.
• When are loans called due?
• Balloons on mortgages
• Breach of agreement on mortgages
• Buying properties subject-to the existing financing, lease-options, and lease-purchases
• Lender's option to terminate loan agreement
• The perfect storm: extreme market conditions and lenders calling loans due
• How to avoid having a loan called due
• Options when a loan is called due
• Plus much more...
