@Theresa Harris I have been following Dave Ramsey’s baby steps loosely for a little while now so I am trying to pay them down faster for sure.

Rents and housing prices will go up because we're in a major housing supply shortage, and as more millennial try to enter the market while baby boomers are not leaving, we'll have an even worse crunch than right now before that normalizes as well. 

We packed up our TV, Keurig, some clothes and blow up mattresses and left our cold/electric-less house and hung out at the flip house for a few days.

With a new baby, I'm looking for a safer route and am willing to look at a more conservative strategy.  

I've since moved on to another property (baby steps) and I'm currently looking for another deal.

Aug 23 electric company comes and puts 3 day note on door of squatter while squatter is hiding insideAug 24 DTE informs us that the bill for this cabin hasn't been paid for a long time, bills are often sent back "return to sender", over $1,100 is owed, gas will be turned off soonAug 26 electric company comes and removes meter, we haven't seen squatter since Monday night, we knock expecting an empty unit, 14 year old daughter is inside, no electric, no water, no gas, phone battery low, and the house is the worse garbage pit I've ever seen - 5 full size black bags of kitchen waste sitting near door, goat path from room to room, dirty clothes piled everywhere. not hoarder situation, just super dirty situation.

You have to #riseandgrind, #dreambigworkhard, #writeyourownstory and #findyourtribeYou are clearly cut from different cloth than people here so you are safe to ignore their negativity. 

as mentioned above there should be boiler plate mandatory mediation for these circumstances.. but as long as U dont sign the release the money just sits in title company account.. after some time with no resolution  ( At least in OR and WA which usually is very close to CA) money is then interpleaded to the courts for disposition then you both lawyer up.. these rarely go that far as lawyer fee's exceed the amount your arguing about.but splitting the baby in some manner is for sure a very common outcome if you dont want the drama.
