Summary
Today we are answering your questions about high yield savings accounts, why you actually need to write down your financial plan instead of just having it in your head, wether or not you should start a 529 if you are going to be an older parent when your kid goes to college, and if you should take out a mortgage when buying a house or raid your taxable account to pay cash and avoid a high interest rate. Dr. Dahle also responds to some criticism directed at WCI. Finally, we have our friends from MLG Capital on to tell us about their current real estate offerings.
At some point in our financial lives, it will be time to buy a home. A physician mortgage can be a good vehicle for a young doctor who's just out of school and has a more effective place to use their money than on a big down payment. These loans allow doctors to secure a mortgage with fewer restrictions and a lower down payment than a conventional mortgage. But if you're further advanced in your career or deeper into your journey to financial freedom, buying a home with a conventional mortgage and then, later on, potentially refinancing that loan to a better rate with a shorter time frame could be a great move. Wherever you are in your financial journey, make sure you use the mortgage that will be most financially beneficial for you. Hop over to our recommended tab to learn more about all of your mortgage and refinancing options at https://www.whitecoatinvestor.com/mortgage. You can do this and The White Coat Investor can help.
