We did move to Denver from DC though, so our 816 sqft duplex unit was palatial compared to the 500 soft studio we were living in in DC!

Use top quality materials, you want this to last a long time.If the spawling is bad, chip off all the loose and soft parts and fill the voids with concrete, then skim coat the entire outside.

We know pretty quickly how good our choice was, and I always go back to my screening criteria to see what I could change to screen that person out in the future.Before move in, here are some soft things to look for:- If someone is calling you every two hours asking for an update, being pushy, or taking up a lot of your time, that will not change after move in.- Ask them, in person or on the application, why they are moving.

I won't say they don't exist, because I know several that are appropriately licensed and can make these loans, but they tend to specialize in lending to well-qualified borrowers that the banks won't touch.

Just not in the curriculum in the school system.So I try to help some  with financial and even soft skills or they may not get employed or able to save money.It seems they are ok in the basement until they meet someone, then we have classic "family formation" driving the home buying.

the economy is still soft but this is the beginning of higher rates....http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/bankrate-mortgage-rates-nosed-higher-leading-up-to-fed-hike-300194351.html
