My goal is with God's help and hard work to be able to leave my job in 2-3 years!! They are literally trying to work me into the ground!! Ridiculous..I will use my equity in my rentals to buy other homes...looking at out of state..I am desperate to control my own life and get rid of working for someone else!!!!! Oh...I did make one splurge....I ordered the c8 corvette...should be here in 15 months...I am a car guy and never had a new one...I figure as long as it doesnt impact my long term goals..

    Hey, great video. I have a question. I'm interested in investing in real estate but it's very much a seller's market (I'm in the dallas area). Is it bad to invest in real estate in another state? Homes are expensive over here.

    • @MillennialFinance101
      @MillennialFinance101  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      If it’s your first one. I highly suggest a local property. After, I’d venture out to find better ROI. It’s a bit of work if you’re new and working full time and doing it may be difficult. You’ll need a property manager and you’ll want some exp locally before you know what to look out for outside. I’ve never done this but have some friends that have and they say it’s been a lot of work to find a good property manager.

    it's amazing how easy it is to build long term wealth if you start investing in your 20's, unfortunately that's normally when you aren't making much money and are saving for a spouse and/or house.

    How good does it look that I paid off a car loan before I buy a house? I’m debating if I should do that or if I should just save that money and put it towards the down payment?

    • @MillennialFinance101
      @MillennialFinance101  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Depends on how much cash.
      I probably would go with 20% down over paying off a car. The car loan interest is probably really low compared to PMI.
      If you won’t have 20%, the car might be fine to get rid of. It’ll help with buying power also since that car payment will limit affordability since it’s going to count against your monthly obligations.
      Wait for that $15000 Biden tax credit. The interests are rising so home prices should fall soon. More reason for putting money against the home and you ca. Use that Biden credit to get rid of the car!
