Debt

June 6th, 2007 at 01:13 pm

Debt, I have always treated it like a $20 challenge. Any extra money I could come up with, went to paying off our debt.
A few years ago, we bought a beautiful piece of property with a view of Brasstown Bald. (the highest peak in Georgia)
We put down 20% and financed the balance of $64,000.
Every month, I made the regular payment of $660 plus anything I could save up during the month, usually at least $1000 or more.
I got the land paid off in January, just two years after I took on the payments. I paid it off 10 years early and saved us thousands in interest!!
I do not like debt at all, but I feel this property is worth much more than I paid for it. I expect to either build on it someday or sell it for a large profit.
This property is called "The Ridge at Owltown"

    If it's such a pretty property, it might be nice if it was never developed, especially if you don't really need the money. Ever consider gifting the land to The Nature Conservancy, your town or other land bank?

    The property is in a subdivision.
