I second Nathan's post - typically house hacking is going to allow you better loan terms as you're inhabiting the property, and allows you to be on site for when things inevitably go wrong. 

She had to hire a lawyer to fight saying that she's not paying for HOA fees when the condo was inhabitable.

It's really tough to get a full-time job in that field here so he came to the village to get experience as a volonteer firefighter (the building is in a 1 000 inhabitants village).

Frankly, if there is no significant damage associated with the cat, then, there is nothing to haggle about or risk losing more money and time in court.I imagine you would have absorbed the repairs caused by wear and tear over the time they inhabited the house.The overall consensus in this thread is that you should just let it slide and move on to more important things.

If the other unit is unaffected and inhabitable, a lender may underwrite ...That said, if you can swing it, you ,may be better off buying cash (using that as leverage to drive the price even lower), affect the repairs to the damaged unit, then finance once complete.

The only thing to keep in mind that the LTV you could get is dropping from 80% (inhabitant of Spain) to 70% (foreigner).

But if the home is in "habital" condition, it's a done deal.

Yes they are cheaper to install but part of the reason for that is that all the other hidden costs which come with them, such as shorter life span, proper disposal, toxicity to the environment and household inhabitants, are all costs that are shifted to other parties who must pay the bill down the road.Vinyl is lethalWhy we don't install vinyl windows

The kids will be playing in the parking lot all day because the house is so small. 6 people in a 2BR would probably violate the local housing code for number of inhabitants per dwelling.

Unfortunately liberals have pretty much made the state un inhabitable so the search shall continue..
