@aalj, your comment made me think. Don’t mean to hijack the thread. If I have a rental property that’s just short of breaking even, given that I am forced to take depreciation, is it better to payoff part of the loan so that I can get that return tax free? According to my calculation, for each 100K I pay down from my mortgage, I get to keep $500 per month rent for myself. That’s 6% after tax return. Is my thinking right?
Update: @aalj, I am going to create a new thread instead for broader visibility. Please reply there.
Havent traveled on them lately but their products were comparable to US airlines. Services were better because they are Asian. Asian airlines have superior services no doubt.
Thought ratings were based on customer experience and feedback. May be they fare better on profitability and other financial parameters.
