truthfully were still pretty close to the lower end of the interest rates. just because u didn't get the absolute bottom doesn't mean its not a good time. if you like the home id say its def a good time to buy and at least build some equity while we wait for things to get back to normal

great deal congrats @Steven Caldwell how did you find the deal off market? was it your own work or did someone bring it to you?

My agent brought it to me once it landed on his desk since it matched what I was looking for

I can't believe how Dumb you are considering pay $8k to some fake real

Dude, you are wreaking havoc on these forums, but man.... being rude and insulting like that is not going to get you where you think you are getting. You are not starting a "movement" as you once said elsewhere. You are only showing people you are childish and barbaric.

I am against DMM and lists, with a passion, but I try to educate people so they see what I see. I don't try to get my point across by belittling, insulting and being so crude.

There is a better and smarter way to get your point across. This message is not to insult you.. it is to enlighten you.

Hard to believe anyone as successful as you claim to be, would be acting like that!

Hope you see this one day, sooner than later. You will get yourself banned here on BP, and worse, you will lose all credibility as an investor.

dudes a clown. not even worth the effort

i think the parents idea is feasible a long as you iron out all the details beforehand with them. listing all the pros for making this happen and how it would benefit everyone involved not just u. Theyre at a stage in life where letting you worry about the home would probably make their lives alot easier. its def a conversation that you could have. Even if pops cant do VA he could do FHA no?

Calling someone dumb while at the same time not being able to use a simple forum post several times isn't a good look. Then when you figure out how the "Post Reply" button works, your comment is full of grammatical and punctuation errors. Maybe next time try to be less of an a hole...

I appreciate this post. But to chime in, I've read books and listened to podcasts and watched videos in regards to real estate and all of them were low cost and easily available. However I think the best teacher so far was going to investor meet ups and talking to folks and asking those questions that are boggling your mind. The ones here in Chicago that I attend are free and I'm sure they have free meet ups in most other places. On top of that I started to interact with people in the life and a simple dinner or grabbing a drink will be a course in itself. Many ways to learn without having to shell out thousands of dollars imo.

I'm curious how they knew the guy was smoking a drug? Maybe he was smoking tobacco or oregano. But yeah, if you are a landlord you shouldn't be doing any of that stuff in your tenant's house.

The picture sure doesn't look like an Oregano bong. :)

My first Landlord (retired German couple, in Germany) would knock on my door when I got home and tell me I needed to clean the bathtub. I started bringing him some liquid favors on occasion. He stopped complaining and his wife started doing my dishes. True story.
