Hi Trent,I have a couple properties that I have financed through private lenders.  The rate was 8.25% on a 3 year arm with a 30 year amortization.  My goal is to pay them off within the 3 years using the rents received, if that doesn't work they will allow me up to 5 years if the loan remains in good standing.  I had to put 50% down payment but…[Read more]
