Why not take a trip to see for yourself before you turn your back on what could likely be a big bonus for your wallet.

TREC is time tested and most Title companies are familiar with it so that's a bonus but it can be confusing if you're not trained on each paragraph.

Consider it a temporary bonus.

My issue is, my monthly income is only about half my total income (the other half is split amongst quarterly bonuses.

An added bonus would be to add people to my buyers list, but I'm going to start that very soon (I just discovered contract assignment today, by the way).

Those places tend to have lower costs of living, do you get a double bonus.

If appreciation happens that is a bonus.

To add the bonus event, the house evidently never had a floor joist on that end of the kitchen so when the sill went, the pressed wood subfloor, hardiplank and tile went with it.

However, if what happened in reality was, you earn $40,000 in salary and $10,000 came in bonus, from an underwriting standpoint you will only be able to use the $10k in bonus there is a history and likelihood it will occur again and has happened before.

If all went well with no concerns, that would be a bonus.
