Take a deep breath and let those rent checks roll in!

You dont want kids or grandparents breathing these spores.  

Rajeev dat helps, il put a bit big amount and hold my breath til it matures. il give you guys feedback how it goes, il just go for my gut feeling this company won't close ASAP.

since you would not have much saving left after financing the purchase option 4 would seem the best way to go  This assumes that you really want the new home ,nothing comparable and prices would be higher in spring  Option 4 would give you the rental income , cash and so breathing room I would advise an attorney to look over that option for possible pitfalls Good luck

We enjoy investing--and we're good at it--but neither of us live and breathe real estate and can't wait to figure out how to put together a deal.  

But in the same breath, I do have to ask the question so I can learn what to expect and maybe even how to prepare if there is anything I can do. 

I listened to your podcast over on Afford Anything with Paula Pant, and it was great to hear your story of how your birthed and breathed life into this machine.

For example, not a good idea to use regular tile on floors (mobile homes "breathe" with temperature and humidity changes), best to use vinyl tiles that have beveled edge and grout with special pre-mixed grout especially made for these tiles or vinyl wood planks that "float" and leave half inch gap at the walls....same with carpet, need to leave half inch gap at walls, otherwise carpet will buckle and need re-stretching.

So unless banks get stupid, and give away mortgages for people who can breathe on a mirror, I don't see much that can be done on the price of homes, they will continue to rise. 

Needless to say, we are not holding our breath.
