Finally from a purely from a cash outlay prospective short term, you could rent a house with roommates and your payment would still probably be Lower than house hacking because rates are so high, over the long period 5-10 years obviously it would cheaper ti buy, hope that makes sense 

Hey everyone, I finally decided to make a post after months of following BP.

I did my research and requote what would benefit both me and the investor, below is the Finalized CORRECT format of the proposal:Listed price on the property: 459,900MAXIMUM amout of money down on the property: $380,000Method of Payment: CASH OFFER from Investor.

We used our own cash we had no private investors.The other critical part was that we negotiated a 3 year wind down if our bank did not renew this was critical in 09 it allowed for a semi organized wind down that most of us in the HML space were doing in 09 to 2011 with all of our defaulted loans..

We finally close with title insurance.14. seller is holed up  its a massive hoarder situation as bad as I have ever seen.15. another 6 months to get eviction.so about 30 months later we finally take possession and bull doze house and built three new homes.  250k in out for 30 months  another 30k in legal fees..

Context: I just moved to Portland, OR and finally decided to pivot careers from healthcare into real estate.

Finally, the new house was complete, and we could move in.

Is the divorce final?

That discussion pushed me towards ground up construction, where I finally find myself today.

I just completed my 20 hour course for my Illinois Mortgage Lending License and the final step is taking the state exam.
