Congrats on your astute purchases...and marital choice.

My current situation is this:We are selling our marital home and I should net about $15K-$20k for a down payment on a place. 

Question, is this too big of a risk, never quite did this before.. do I first have all the signatures from the owners signifying that they indeed want to sell.

The signature was removed and that line is now in very fancy calligraphy text to display the word 'Persistence' to signify that persistence pays off for $28,323.66 and is hanging above my work space.

It usually signifies to the seller that you don't have the cash for it yourself and therefore increases the risk of the deal falling apart, which would cost the seller time and missed opportunities while the property is off the market.

Hi BP members,My husband and I are BRRRR investors in central Wisconsin (marital property state).

It's used to signify that everyone is better off.

That is when my former husband stopped paying mortgage and HOA, however he didn't pay child support either claiming his mortgage and HOA payments were too expensive.Our marital settlement states that I will not be held liable for any liens or issues pertaining to the real property incurred either during the marriage and until the children and I vacated the home in April 2012. 

_r=1&Deciding between Charlotte and Philadelphia was challenging, but this is how I did it: Step 9: I pulled high level statistics from Trulia, the census bureau, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics (college educated percentage, commuter percentages, house hold income, median age, home owners percentage, marital status, crime, 1900 to present population growth, 10 year jobs growth rates).Charlotte won out on household income, less crime, population growth, jobs growth and more college educated peoplePhiladelphia had more renters, less driving to commute, more single peopleI also pulled approximate rents and median home prices by neighborhood and Philadelphia won on better cap ratesStep 10: My final decision: Philadelphia Philadelphia is also closer to NYC (2 hour train ride), has improving demographic trends (gentrification), more affordable for my budget, stronger rents, and larger urban center with more investment options (SFR and MFR)There are obviously downsides such as older buildings, higher crime rates, historical population growth issues We can debate the merits of one city over another, but eventually one has to get off the proverbial pot and make a decision.

Especially when the the 2 adults do not have any marital or familiar relation.
