If you do that a recession will just be mildly uncomfortable and not catastrophic.

I'm just worried about the pickiness of an FHA loan - having not seen the other side, plus knowing that there is a (mild) mold issue in the basement of the side I did see.

If it's on the south side best bet will be getting it rehabbed mildly (new counter tops/sink, update bathroom, repaint the place, etc..

We have dealt with that & also panty stealing & theft of each other's laundry detergent. 

And a non-trivial amount of ongoing expense - water, detergents, maintenance, cleaning, etc.

There is usually no timer based coin-op for washer, they are programmed to pay per wash cycle. 10 minutes isnt long enough to rinse out the detergent anyway even if that was a thing:) Only dryers pay by dry time, but usually even those usually require a default 40 minutes for example and extra quarters would add increments.

The last time home prices acutely decreased was the great financial crisis, before then, 1992 (and then it was mild, a couple % for a few months) .

'Duped' is putting it mildly...'

I’m not sure what that is… I did some mild research and I’m unclear how it differs from an assignment in wholesaling?

With the possibility of a mild recession, the Federal Reserve's announcement to cut rates three times in late 2024 and institutions like the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) and Freddie Mac hinting at a potential uptick in transactional activity after a slower 2023 which saw a 70% year over year decline in sales volume the "Survive Til '25" adage might be moot.
