You are ahead of 95% of the country, who think a mint is for their breath (and who care more about their breath than they do their finances).

Sorry when  I said South West Philly and passyunk in the same breath,  I meant to imply the area before crossing the Schuylkill River..  

I live and breathe the shortsale.

That stuff is highly toxic and you don't want to be breathing the fumes.

Lambros Politis I don't know much about home union but I always recommend newbies to seek out the smaller boutique turnkey providers that live and breath in thier market.

Buyers and sellers are repelled by agents who have 'commission breath.'

And lastly, if you are going to be vacuuming or sweeping when cleaning up after mice, make sure to wear a N100 rated dust mask or respirator to avoid breathing in dust that is contaminated with hantavirus. 

I pushed out sale dates with signed sale agreements to give some breathing space with an extension, and have also wired funds for the default amount 2 days before a sale date to stop the foreclosure.  

Buying a MF is a competitive thing, so a good down payment and funds to make your offer more competitive (like asking for no seller contingencies or having a conventional loan) will go a long way towards getting you into a living situation where you may have some breathing room.

Take a breath.
