That is 5.6% on the 600k or $33,600 a year until the market comes back. I know you know this and don't care for the hassle but $1200 a month on $100k condo is really good rent for the landlord. Plus I learned about buying down a loss a couple of pages ago.*

Good info -- and for this forum is very good information for OTHERS.... as this can and does work. I'll "average down" a stock investment - which I've discussed in previous posts.

I have owned LARGE (300 plus units per building) class A apartment complexes... so I understand the rent reward capital depreciation etc. BUT -- big BUTT -- they are professionally managed and I just collect a check every 6 months. Again -- the risk/reward/work factor just isn't worth the 6 tenths of a percent differential of owning McDonalds or Annaly Capital Management. $600K in Annaly (NLY) gets you 35,000 shares of dividend paying stock - it pays .57 per share per quarter... or a total of $79,800.00 per year.

Do you see why I'm rich and you're not?
