🎧 The Return on Investment on Extra Down Payments

You might have noticed that I’ve been silent for a couple weeks (except on the podcast which is scheduled out almost a year in advance)… well… I was on vacation and just got back last night.

So, I’m back and catching up… but get ready for some brand-new real estate investor stuff that I’ve been thinking about during my hikes, hot tub time, and plane/ferry rides.

New to the podcast this last week is a discussion on a critically important topic: The Return on Investment on Extra Down Payments

If I put a small amount down… I’m going to have ugly or even negative cash flow with this property and its high price, high interest rates and lagging rents… but if I put more down… cash flow improves. Should I put more down? In this special episode, I will walk you through how I like to think about this question as we address the ROI on any additional down payments you opt to make beyond the absolute minimum you could to acquire the property.

It is part of our entire series on 🏦financing rental properties.
