Hi @Amy Meza, I am in the same boat - I live in NYC and looking for investments that don't price me out.I have spent my time looking in the CT market.

Then with the money saved up by not paying rent/mortgage you take that money and roll it into your new flip/rental venture whatever floats your boat.

Amanda, I'm in the same boat.

Be sure to have your "life boat" addendums in place so you can make offers without fear.

When they are found then the game begins, do they work, have a car, a boat, a rental deposit, etc. anything to get some money out of them.As everyone has suggested a judgment is the only way to go.

Those people with decent incomes, who took out extensive lines of credit, overused the credit cards, got that expensive home, car, boat, vacation home etc. and have been able to tread water to this point because they have had some savings (quickly becoming depleted) to keep out of the ditch--so far.

Oh all of you have missed the boat greatly.FUKODOME to the rescue.

in same boat as you.

I'm in your boat too, so I'll probably hang around and see what replies you get.

Now is the time to buy, if you are not, you are missing the boat.
