The lease on our existing bmw 430i ends in August. Looking to buy model 3.
1. When should we place the order?
2. What’s the best place for financing?
3. How much should we put down initially?

You can go on the website and build out the car and see how long deliveries are taking. Usually 1-3 weeks depending on the model. But also they have some aggressive year end deals in Sept/Oct. but you probably won’t be able to take advantage of your lease ends in August. But place the order based on when it’s expected to be delivered.
You can finance directly with Tesla. It’s pretty simple. The down payment & deposit is a little different. There’s a required $2500 down to order the car. It’s refundable. Once you get your financing it’ll determine the minimum additional you have to put down. They won’t typically finance 100% of the car. So you may have to put another $2-4K down but not much more. You can put the initial $2500 Deposit on a credit card but IIRC the rest of the down payment has to be check/bank transfer or something.
You can go through other banks for financing but it’s a little different because you have to have the VIN and some other things in order for it to finalize—which has caused some banks issues if they’ve never dealt with Tesla financing.
Tesla financing was not only incredibly competitive but also SUPER easy. All the finance stuff is handled in just 2-3 computer screens and a couple of phone calls. You go pick it up and sign a couple papers and you’re done in 15 minutes.

I am a traditional reservist so I never really used military benefits before, but could use advice here.

I am currently renting and my lease is not up until October 2021, however I found a good deal on a home and scheduled to close in June 2021.

My landlord will not work with me to end the lease early, so it looks like I will have to double up on rent and mortgage through the summer.

If I went on active duty orders, can I use those orders to break my lease early without penalty?

Everyone has a different perspective on this but would love to hear yours. Someone has debt ranging say 4-5% interest rates. Do you attack debt more then investing to move towards a debt free life or do you go after investments since they return historically above that then paying down closer towards retirement. I know the latter looks better on paper but what about the psychological factors of being debt free and the guaranteed return on interest savings.
