I plan to utilize all of them and could use all the advice I can get.Also,I plan to target an area that is about an hour away from where I live.I know that is supposed to be a no,no.Every thing I have read says start in your home town but I go to this area alot for dining and shopping and am fairly famaliar with it.It is one of the best markets around and I live in a small resort type town with very slim pikins and very inflated prices.Am I making a mistake?

Hey Melinda, My parents did a good job raising me, and luckily, as my grandmother so elegantly used to put it "I wasn't born yesterday"Anyway, IMO - I've fended off about 3 separate cases where I believe this would have been the outcome.

People that buy too much house are the same people that finance fancy cars, dine out on Credit Cards, carry high interest rate balances, have deferred their student loans etc etc etc.

Take out costs for cont. education, transportation expenses, personal office type expenses, and the show and tell expenses to dine a client, take home after taxes is very slim for most Realtors.It is or can be an extremely stressful life and I understand the sence of urgency Realtors have in wanting to ram a deal through the maze of requirements.

Anyway, we looked at a house about three months ago... 2 bed (although there is a large finished attic that could be 3d bed) 1 bath 890 sq feet Nice unfinished full basement 2 car garage Needs kitchen redone (flooring in kitchen & dining room, plus new counters/cabinets).

It also has a small front room (sort of a combination living room and kitchen), and a couple of people commented that it wouldn't work for them because they have a lot of dining room furniture.I had the exterior of the house repainted, the doorbell replaced and the front stoop retiled (some of the tiles were broken).

Depending on your state that will make you elegible for the death sentence.

We are headed for a paperless universe and I LOVE apple for delivering the most elegant and 100% brilliant product time and time again.Hey tenant, sign my iPadGive me yor credit cardOrganize my lifeHandle my calls, house lights, car engine, stereo, tv you name it.I'm tunneling into my leopard server for S's & g's : that's right, full blown osx on my ipad Apple rocks, watch their stock price soar forever!!!

These can also serve pantry, breakfast and dining areas and fridges.

Main portion of house has 2 bed/2 full bath, new kitchen, dining area and living room.
