Afford Anything

Ask Paula: Which House Should I Pay Off First?


Listen Later

#201: Ross and his wife are both in the Navy. They bought a home while they were stationed in Hawaii. Then the Navy sent them to Virginia, where they currently live; they’ve purchased a home there, too. They kept the Hawaii home as a rental property, and they’d like to move back into it when they retire. Which home should they repay first?

Mike is 33, debt-free except for his mortgage, and earns more than $200,000 per year. He saves half of his income. What should he do with his savings? Pay off his mortgage? Invest?

Josh has a nervous habit of checking his investment account balances daily. How can he break this habit?

Amanda and her husband live in a duplex. They have $115,000 in equity in their home, and another $115,000 remaining on the mortgage. They’d like to move. Should they hold the duplex as a rental? Or should they sell and use the proceeds to buy a cheaper home, with a goal of being mortgage-free?

Christy wants to know how to compete with other aggressive real estate investors who are bidding on homes.

I answer these five questions in today’s episode. Enjoy!
