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!

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

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.

@Brett JurgensThe "2 out of the last 5-year rule" in real estate allows homeowners to exclude up to $250,000 ($500,000 for married couples) of capital gains from the sale of their primary residence if they lived in the home for at least two out of the five years before the sale.

We always do our deal analysis so at 65% we cover all expenses plus P/I so you should do well.   

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

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

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.  

True, your last SB was 1996, not 1995.

Would love to hear your take, especially with the way trerms have evolved in the last few years.
