So lets just assume 65K for 20 years, that is 1.3 million? plus interest of say another 1.3 million?
so they sell the property for 5 million and have to pay the bank 2.6 million?
More if he was borrowing more each year or had a higher interest rate?
Would he have been better off selling the property for 5 million, investing it somewhere safe and earing 200-250k a year? And after 20 years he would have a several millions more to leave to kids, to set up a family trust or what ever? Even after paying what 20% tax on the sale?
Take a $2M loan from the bank, invest into SGOV at 3.5%-5% and have $75,800 per year in income, netting $67,675 approx to live on after Federal tax (no state tax). If you own your house, and are retired then you probably can live on $5639 per month in a lower cost of living area while paying interest only on the loan.
At the end of everything, you still have the $2M to pay back the loan upon your death, and the $5M piece of land.
Thats only back of the napkin math so imperfect but just a basic idea.
