Debt FREE!!
« on: January 23, 2018, 02:23:07 PM »
Well, except for the mortgage on our rental property. We don't have any personal mortgage debt as we are currently renting. When we discovered MMM 15 months ago we had about 50k in vehicle/student loan debt.. definitely feels good!! Now to build up Vanguard!

Congratulations!  I took the same path: rental property in a lower COLA first while I lived in a rent-controlled apartment in a HCOLA. Did that for about eight years until I could afford a condo on a short sale in my expensive area. RE got me to FIRE, so here's to your success, too!

Nice! We have very similar circumstances. Our rental is in a LCOL area and here in Reno home prices have made it back to pre-2008 levels (nearly double the cost of what they were right after the crash). Although the market here shows no signs of slowing down, I'm hopeful we can wait it out for a few years and just maybe the bottom will fall out. I cringe when I think about paying 400k for a home when I'm used to 150k in the LCOL area!

Congrats on the debt pay off. Killing the debt is such a big accomplishment and representation of one's grit.

I just made my last student loan payment yesterday. So it's time to start building up.
