The 6% interest will actually bring in $25 more/month than we were charging for rent. And no insurance, no property taxes, no maintenance, no phone calls....
calmloki, never let the tax tail wag the investment dog. If the after tax amount and the other particulars have the deal making sense, do it.
Overall, I have heard, but not 100% convinced, that the stock market generally over the long haul surpases real estate as an investment. This is probably true in most areas of the country, but may not be so in areas like New York City or certain areas of California.
Tryan had me all freaked out a couple months ago talking AMT
Sorry for that.
P.S. I still think alt min is something to get freaked out about ... they need to fix it.
only paying out 1/4 of our profit to the tax man is pretty sweet
