If you find you have an etra $1000 a month, you can ear mark $500 or so to be applied every month to your loan balances (which accelerates the pay-offs - which it reflects in the projections).

Because I’ve been renting to my friends, I did not take the time to adjust the lease contract my dad uses for his rentals to reflect that each tenant is renting one bedroom/bath and sharing common areas (kitchen, living room, dining room, laundry room).

It wasn't worth the time, and, after further reflection, I wasn't sure the seller was all there mentally.

I agree with everyone's opinion your attire should reflect the areas you target, being too suited up may intimidate your prospect and not make them feel totally at ease hiring you and vise versa.

I would need some proof of funds, not a statement of $12,000 in the bank today that might have been a loan from a friend for this purpose, but a bank letter saying how much average balance over last 3 months to reflect this isn't a sudden deposit.Since she said "going back to school" and she is in her mid 30s I assume she has an employment history, so tax returns and prior employment is to verify her ability to earn, unless she's been a house wife and never worked and now is divorced and living on alimony so that would be "other income".Escrow may be an answer.I am asking 3 months to move in anyways (first, last, security) so it's higher up front cost to move in.

This isn't our first rodeo, so time spent in self-reflection will be minimal.

Prices are accepted as reflected in the average listing time on the market and we do have a very stable local economy that is well diversified.

Watch a specific search criteria that mostly reflects property in the area you are interested in.

This is something I've been thinking about recently, since it's close to the end of the year and as always, a time for reflection and planning for the new year.

But, of course, then real estate prices reflect that too unfortunately.
