This is a shit plan. Or written in 2012. Mortgage rates are sky high right now and property values somewhat stagnating.

My word of advice: people who are shilling real estate right now probably aren’t making good returns.

Can confirm. Lots of empty office buildings around. And anyone who has a balloon payment coming up in the next 24 months is sweating big time.

There are always good deals to be found on real estate if you are patient and cautious, but broadly speaking, this is not the time to be taking out a commercial mortgage, if you can even get one.
