Sorry to my libertarian friends on here but running as a Libertarian is a great way to make a lot of blog press and lose elections.

My point is they looked like salesmen (kinda like the encyclopedia guys from 20 years ago)..Next when I pressed them for examples of what / how / when / they were able to sell-or-buy RE, they gave me VAGUE answers.

He told me he changed all light bulbs to CFL light bulbs and check all cables for shorting when I pressed on exactly how the preventative maintenance was done.

I've seen quite a bit of "press" on container buildings over the past years.  

She was pressed to go to law school because she had no other viable choices (especially given high student loan debt).  

I was thinking keep the old baseboards (save $3500), no shutters (save $600), only replace 2 exterior doors (save $600), just paint gutters (save $1100), maybe scartch the backsplash and pantry (save $800), maybe do laminate instead of hardwood (save $2000), possibly don't open up the walls (save $2500) but I am hard pressed to find other ways.

Also, word press sites are very good with SEO, send me a private message if you need help.

Plus then you're stuck running window units in every room of the house instead of pressing one button on a central AC to turn on or off the unit.

While I'm certainly not a fan of FNMA, my experience with them over many deals is that they are careful not to do anything that would result in obvious negative press or a lawsuit, so my guess is that there is another side to this story that you're not telling.While FNMA's addendum generally gives them the right to back out of a deal for pretty much any reason, I've never seen that happen, and would be VERY surprised if they backed out just because they got a better offer, and I'd be VERY, VERY surprised if they did this and then tried keeping the earnest money.If the story is as clear cut as you say, why did the escrow/title company release the earnest money to FNMA.

Dont get me wrong education is important, but its far from rocket science to do real estate.I cant change oil, I cant change breaks, I cant run a press, in fact there are countless things that I cant do but I can make alot of money in real estate.
