The mortgage industry was begining to tighten due to the sub prime meltdown and banks were not allowing assignment of contract.

The pipe with the nut and washer slides over the next one, and you tighten the nut to compress the washer into the other pipe.

The Harvard report cites a Fannie Mae study showing that while attitudes toward homeownership have become more negative over the last few years, 74 percent of renters and 87 percent of the general population still view homeownership as safe investment.While many households aspire to homeownership, tightened underwriting standards may stand in their way and the report speculates that the proposed 20 percent down payment requirement for qualified residential mortgages could sharply curtail homeownership unless the borrower obtains a government guarantee.

(course we could move into a previous rental but the 2 houseing we are submitting offers on were NOT rentals for sure).now i would be interested in what kind of loan you think would be better for us. obviously never having had a loan i was just told by 5 or so people that "va is better for us". i assumed because we had no down and no money for closing and having a 105% LTV was going to be hard w/conventional. course with the market we could (hypothetically) get a conv. loan on a house thats only 100% LTV b/c we haggled it down/was on the market for a long time/needed minor updates and didn't look "fantastic" but then the market falls another 3% b/c of christmas, tightening wallets etc before it goes back up and then we are over mortgaged. anywho my point is that if theres a loan program (grant program) that would pay closing costs without having to up our offers to include those costs (i.e. the home sells for $140k but we offer $148k w/seller paying our closing costs) i would love to hear about it!

We would use steel braided flex hoses and put thread sealant tape on before tightening.

Every minor problem the tenants have, they charge like $50 to go check it out, and another $100 to say tighten a pipe that was leaking.

You are less likely to put strain on one cord when plugging or unplugging the other one.What are your thoughts on this? 

Because the price of oil is so low, people are worried they will lose their jobs and so they are tightening the purse strings.
