If the numbers work, always a good time. But unless you get a helluva deal or use a lot of cash, the numbers probably won't work.

Not the best time, but if the numbers work, then it’s great! A refi in a few years will turn a good investment now into a great investment later

Easy? Sure. The refi process is fairly easy as long as you have equity. It all comes down to the numbers - cost to refi vs monthly and/or overall savings. It’s a simple math problem

Yes. I'm buying with hopes to refinance in the future

A friend has failed the bar a few times, and it has so affected him that he decided he won’t try again. Fortunately he had a career prior to school and returned to it (with massive loan debt). I understand we are in a pandemic, but I can’t help but think of him every time I hear discussion of the diploma privilege bar admission alternative to the bar exam. Do you think this is the best alternative?
