However, the property in question is in a pretty good location: adjacent to a garden run by the city council, less than a block from a brand new park, and kiddie corner to a church/Catholic school.

An example is a community center we sold to a private school with 15% down.  

This, however, changes not only from county to county but also by neighborhood, zip code, school district, etc.Another change we are witnessing in real-time is increased seller’s concessions, which can go towards financing closing costs or buying down the interest rate.

Basically, they do not want lawyers to deduct the cost of law school and doctors to deduct their medical school - which sort of makes sense. 

I have about $15k I have to pay back for school.

Egg on my face, and I am now happy to admit that I am a (long ago) law school drop-out.I still have not found a more up to date (free) source of the statute than my original source, and can’t tell whether this version of the Bill I just found is the final version signed into law: https://gov.georgia.gov/document/2024-signed-legislation/hb-404/downloadIf it is, then it appears that a 3 business day notice “… shall be posted in sealed envelope conspicuously on the door of the property and delivered via any additional method or methods agreed upon in the rental agreement.”

@Josh MellOrder a titles report and Have an attorney review itIf you understand how to do your own title research then you can save a good bit of money.Challenge with PA is the layers of taxes from school to county etc and trying to determine what the amounts owed are.

Still, not knowing where you are going is tough.For military folks, eventually they usually decide on a hub where they want to plant roots (usually when kids are closer to school age) and then the hub stays and the party in the military comes back to the hub.You have the VA benefits and they are great.

That all said I just did my first round of fundings in IOWA and their system is really old school with Title chains manually done and handed to the buyers for safe keeping..
