HUD does not let the tenant pay the difference and as a landlord you cannot accept it.

I will accept responsibility for getting overwhelmed and stuck, as well as for believing a total stranger gave a crap about me, my financial situation, or my sucess.... but shame on epic for getting lost in the profit, by promising things that were not true.

Conventional wisdom is to pull back on risk as you approach retirement, but given your mom's lack of savings, I think she's going to have to accept more risk in order to try to get where she wants to be.

We presented this seller with a contract-for-deed offer which was accepted after some negotiation.

But I've been accepting Venmo & other forms of online payments that go into personal accounts for 10 years now from dozens of tenants. 

Quote from @V.G Jason: Quote from @Carlos Ptriawan: Quote from @Marcus Auerbach: @Carlos Ptriawan yeah very low price, but would not be my choice of neighborhood.. one thing that I do notice from bay area (highest land value) and OOS property (lowest land value area) is that, home actually has more intrinsic value when located out of state, same house like that in our market is having 15 times the price, which means we only buying the land while the house itself is in much worse condition than comparable OOS property.So if someone like me that's more liberal and can accept to live in any neighborhood, I could really have a good primary house to live in out of state, for a very low price point.  

@Taurus Colvin don't blindly accept his numbers!

We sent an all cash offer for far below listing which was accepted.
