If they don't take care of their current place or car they want take care of your place.I use this lease agreement:http://utahlandlady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03...Good Luck!

The 1%-2% rule is for people in the mid-west who buy 40k houses the size of my car.

The same as having a mechanic check out a used car Before you buy it.

With in 5-7 years I would like to be able to financially stable, that is to say that at this point I can cover all living expenses as well as be able to be able to purchase a car, or new appliances, or cover medical bills, all without having to worry about if I'll enough money to eat that week. 

Real property is unique and with that goes unique laws and ethical requirements, one who has dealt in personal property cannot assume that a strategy dealing in used cars is okay in real estate!

I did every unexpected expense item from plumbing to car repair myself. 

Just as @Sandra Lei M.and @Mathias Bekele have recommended, start with UBG and go through every last one of the podcast whenever you are in the car, at night or before class because this my friend is GOLD.

Its done in other industries like buy here, pay here car lots, and rent-a-center for electronics and furniture.

It's apparent that you guys are bad at giving things up (thus the credit card and car loans).  

I counted 28 cars at 9:45 am.
