I cut my interest rate by more half by refinancing

10k

I used a HELOC and my rates are 50% lower. Going to save approx. $40k in interest.

Depends on how much you have. I did a sofi refi and saved about $30k. Higher payments over shorter amount of time. Cut interest rate in half.

5.8% to 2.6% (fixed). First Republic Bank, referrals available if interested

OW could you share those referrals?

Hi all - any advice for a first time real estate investor looking to make their first purchase at the end of 2021.

I plan on saving $50K, for a $350-400K property in the Long Island, NY area for my first property. Does this sound reasonable? And does anyone have any experience & advice investing in the LI area?

Id like to rent it out for some positive cash flow that I can then start using to save for my 2nd property (sounds easy when I type it).

Thanks all for your input - stay safe!
