I hope to supply an equally excellent answer in the form of a post early next week. Hint: What was the primary goal of the retired couple? Don't be a stranger, OK?

Hint: What was the primary goal of the retired couple?

Don’t be a stranger, OK?

It seems that when many real estate agents recommend purchasing property as a tax shelter, they neglect to mention the interest that you are paying the bank over those 30 years. How does the interest paid (vs. buying all cash) figure into the equation? I am just thinking about the approximately $250,000 in interest that they'll be paying if they get the 50% loans. I understand that the interest is also a deduction, but I'd rather not pay the interest at all in some circumstances.

Mine is just graduated kindergarten and I'm sure it'll be no time flat before she's out of college as well. Hopefully she'll own 10's of properties by that point of her own. ;) Never hurts to start early. Congrats to your daughter!
