This isn't the last home you will be buying in your lifetime.He should not get upset that you are doing your due diligence.

I’m talking about the kind of property you’re going to buy within a month or less and the seller just flakes out at the last minute.

Or they can be sold to investors.I think they are particularly attractive for new investors to buy as a house hack - you live in one and rent out 3, most, if not all, your expenses will be covered.Look at what it last sold for, has it appreciated?

The records show the house last sold in Sept, 24 for 382K and was listed in Oct 24 for 416K and reduced to 406K in November.

Lastly if your not sold on any market yet I have always done very well in and enjoyed military markets.

Last, you can do an unlimited amount of repairs to a home using a 203k renovation loan (up to the FHA loan limit), including knocking down the house and building a new home!

I haven't looked into it because I never plan on buying there but thats what he said was enacted in the last year. 

I'm just not quite ready to buy so hoping it lasts.  

While this isn't a hard and fast rule, more often then not, these are the guys that can't manage their schedules well, and will be gung-ho on your job for a couple weeks, then be flaking out as they picked up too much work and are trying to keep too many homeowners happy.And lastly, the more detail you have the better the bid will be with few change orders.  

Has cash flowed between $50k and $56k the last 3 years with upward trend.
