Where Have all the Flowers Gone?

After receiving Mary’s IRA investment from Equity Trust, Bob purchased the house for $100,000, put new carpet in the living room and planted flowers in the front yard.

If I would like to compare them to Victorians, or non-conforming, or large multi family or downtown properties I would have to go into a lot more detail to make even the most superficial of comparisons.Speaking of the 1% rule, for my particular "asset class" that rule is effectively out of the window in my particular "market":( see link below.https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/627/topics/313245-where-have-all-the-flowers-gone-analyzing-some-stockton-deals?

Because of her job status (she also runs a business delivering flowers) she is unable to acquire a mortgage at this time as the banks do not consider her income, which is why she is seeking a lease option. 

I just recently had a birthday and when asked by my mother what she should get me for my birthday, I handed her a list of 10 books I couldn't wait to get my hands on.

The point was that with the HOA, I have a risk of losing my house and currently my HOA doesn't seem to add any value by enforcing the nuisance rules, though I've heard horror stories about old ladies losing their paid off homes because of the wrong type of flowers being planted, etc.The HOA doesn't seem to add much value because they don't currently enforce rules but at any year that could change if enough people complain and it could swing the other way.

I'll hit that goal on my 40th birthday and it will give my wife the comfort level she needs to go along with my other crazy ideas.

I am in the process of closing on my first home on the 31st, one day after my 23rd birthday!
