Rental properties in this town are overpriced and not much to choose from while home prices are underpriced and plenty of homes on the market.So now I am back to looking at owning, even if for the short term, although transaction costs could push this into an expensive proposition.What percentage factor do you use as a average for transactions costs on both ends of buying and selling a home.Also, if you have any other advice in this situation, my mind is open.

These numbers are pushing above $355/sf cost to build.

Push back the close if you need to.

Hi everyone, I've had closing for a rental property get pushed back due to a series of inspection issues that now overlaps with me being out of town.

Adding more housing is important but the way this occurred was grass roots work by younger, dynamic people who care about having places other than a SFH home. 

If you need to "count" the rental income, it will push you over that limit.So it's FHA, get a PHENOMENAL deal rendering my above statement untrue (off-MLS, like if the seller is your drinking buddy or something), or put down a large down payment, for the time being. 

I hope this message can be applied to anyone pushing through a grind to finish a project, secure a new deal, or to get started.

So in a way, the developers’ vision is critical since it may invite people into the neighborhood or push people away.

This is likely the root cause of some of the other issues we have been battling for the last several years.

Is it worth pushing our budget to the max to replace, or will an appraiser just check the box that there is central heat/air?
