It's important that if we go into debt, mortgage debt included, we bein complete agreement with our spouse, we commit to borrowing as little as possible, and we pay it back as quickly as we can.

This means that if you are thinking aboutbuying and can do so now, you'll save money if you don't wait. Next, Dale and Robanswera caller'squestionat (800) 525-7000 about the following:

"I am getting into the rental home business. I have the opportunity to buy a property for 25K. It need about 50K worth of work. Is it worth it to get a mortgage?"
