So, my standard thought is they are either not as successful as they put out in the world (and need $20-30k), or they are charging you to sell you something more.

All else being equal, lower mortgage rates reduce the cost of ownership and, thereby, allow more people to afford to buy.

You'll get much more "bang for your buck," lower cost per key, and lower maintenance costs per unit.

Patio door prices can depend on the Model of Patio door you are looking for, for a standard 60x80 in white it will cost $1900.00 colors can be added, and for a patio door 72x80 the cost will be $2100.00 Outswing for a 60x80 will cost $2600.00 installed, and for an outswing 72x80 it will cost $2700.00 installed outswing with Grills for a 60x80 costs $1860.00, and an outswing 72x80 will cost $2300.00 installed.You also add blinds to all sliding and outswing patio doors for an additional charge.

Most lower priced condo projects are not very healthy and why they are low priced.

Secondary markets like Greensboro, Winston, and Fayetteville will likely still be under the 1% rule, but our property taxes are lower than most northern states so the CoC (which is what you should be as/more concerned about) return will be favorable.

There are plenty out there with fair rates and lower fees.

This was my first deal, and house hacking made the most sense because it lowered the threshold for risk in my mind.

Other than your payment is NOT fixed, the "charge" for it all is NOT known or set...... 

Of course they are going to have bad credit or they would be looking in a better area.Another thing you may want to consider to drive more applications is to not charge the application fee.
