If you were in my shoes, what would you do? 

If I were in your shoes, I'd save up as much as I can until I have around 3.5% of whatever it is I'm looking to buy (I'd suggest a duplex, or a house you can rent to a bunch of buddies and you live in one room).

Base, casing, shoe molding, crown, chair rail and Misc.For my house I carried $950.00.10.) 

You charge an assignment fee to allow the investor to step into your shoes in the original contract. 

I'm the shoes off at the door type so I would probably lose my mind anyways.

I got my fat Greek a$$ out to my target areas and walked holes into my shoes again and again.

I would put your self in her shoes would you want your mother dealing with someone who really cant close .. when there is such a pressing need ???  

That's what I'd do were I in his shoes. 

@Jason Rose,I am actually working on insurance planning right now. 

I’m more on the conservative side, so if I’m in your shoes, I’d keep it.
