Title says most of it, my realtor has a relative with a duplex with burn damage in Oregon in the area I'm looking to buy my first househack.

But a cash out refi is good if you want to use those funds to buy a LTR. but you gotta find one quickish so you don't burn wasted capital 

If you're way off with these numbers you will go under, and then 2) getting burned by the contractor is a real thing. 

The 10% that care eventually get burned out. 

It is starting to burn folks who were told this and then cannot qualify for a house they want to buy to live in.

For example what if a house burns to the ground?

So as a previously burned person in bait and switches am simply assuming that when you don’t talk about fees and you list all these “things” you can do, you are hiding fees later.

If you rush into a deal just to buy something you will get burned for sure.

Don’t get me wrong, I realize there’s a class of folks out there with too much money to burn, but if anyone reading this is sitting on a spare $1m they’re throwing into 3 month/year New England ski house because they don’t know what else to do with their money let me know.
