I am just trying to figure out how I want to do this and wanted to see how others have done it. I have the money but as bjuice mentioned I am making money on it and hate to stop that! I would not plan on borrowing the full amount just enough so I dont clear out the bank account and I woudl expect to have the loan paid back with two or three years...tops.
I used to run with a guy that had more money in is drag racing stuff than his house, granted is was a nice set-up and he did have a small house!
