How about save the $5K and just pretend you did it since the people you are paying are just pretending they are doing something anyway.I purchased a house where the guy died in a lawn chair in the backyard.

I also think banks will be very slow to foreclose this time, they will extend and pretend again + all the new consumer friendly foreclosure rules (2008 they dumped REO on the market all at once which tanked prices)...this will prevent large amounts of inventory piling up.But I do wonder if the economy every really truly recovered from 2008, or was it just entirely due to the Fed keeping zero interest for 7 years & pumping trillions in through QE (this monetary policy last 7 years is totally unprecedented as far as I know, never been tried before in USA history, so we are in uncharted waters from this respect).  

& always drew my "future dream homes" & pretended to create my bedroom into my own "house".

Lots of folks at home - Dems/Repubs - think that he should be campaigning at home for the presidency instead of trying to do so in another continent (and then pretending that the trip is just a fact finding mission).His speech in Germany proved that he is not there just to get information, but to get on the covers of newspapers and to share his "message" with a world audience.

Pretending that your expenses will be better than hundreds of thousands of professional landlords across the country is a dangerous game.

I don't pretend to understand all of the tax issues, but I do have a great accountant that tries his best to educate me!

Are these hard money lenders for real or are they just pretenders?

So let's just pretend that my all-in cost with repairs is $45,000 (just a beginner's guess) and it can rent for $950/mo.  4.  

Many sick in the head people are calculating and know how to pretend to be normal until they are ready to strike.

Its obnoxious but I like cars and make a good living, so I’d never buy something else to pretend I’m someone other than who I am.
