Having said that, I will say that having a full-time job (referred to as W-2 income) and solid credit will be important for you as you begin your career and start pursuing your REI dreams.Generally speaking, one unavoidable reality in life is that having a college degree sets you up for much higher W-2 income that just a HS degree. 

I'd like to move in I make 1,000/moThese calls are unavoidable.

My husband's company closed last year, so that was unavoidable and that is what contributed to trashing his credit.

Do not delay because an unavoidable court action will not go any faster just because you have a buyer.

How do I go about recording the private lender loan so I don’t pay recordation tax on the full amount when I refinance or is that unavoidable bc it’s a private loan.

I didn't think this would be a concern (units have been selling very quickly in the neighborhood), but for a number of reasons unit #2 still hasn't gone under agreement.At this point my closing date has been pushed back 3 times, and I'm getting dangerously close to the end of my rental agreement (1/27).Is this "50% rule" unavoidable in this circumstance, or are there lenders who would be willing to overlook it?  

Agree with @Anthony Dooley, liability is unavoidable, but with the proper insurance coverage and correct entity setup (not just done on the secretary of state website), you can protect yourself adequately. 

I have decided to present offers to both of them - Cash and Lease Option.Since I obviously have emotion involved (big no-no), but unavoidable as a grandma!

If I do the unavoidable and the cosmetic afor $10k and left the rent the same, the COC would be something like .24.

So that may be unavoidable, even at the good meetings.My advice would be to go there with the intent of being social.
