I actually bought a home in Arvada last year, and it’s appreciated 8% in the first year—there’s potential for growth, but the rent-to-price ratio can be tough here.I understand the fear of making a bad purchase, especially as a rookie.

The last few years have been great for investors/homebuyers who bought pre-con, but looking back to the few years after the 2014/15 boom, this wasn't the case, where many had actually committed to buying a property that wasn't quite worth what they signed up for closer to closing because the appraisal weren't matching the contract price, requiring a cash top-up.

But I’d also buy the $200 5 year warranty.My last/only stackable I bought last year was LG, the combined towers to try to reduce noise, increase ease of use, and presents higher end look.

For the 15 + years I’ve been on BP I’ve seen this reasoning, though there’s less of it in the last 5 years.

I found some articles and old forum posts on BP last night that discussed problems with financing and insurance for this arrangement. 

If you signed a 3% buyers representation agreement and the seller is only paying 2.5% and nothing more then just ask that your agent amend the buyers representation to 2.5% so you are not on the hook for the last %I will say, some agents are VERY strict and won't budge from 3% fee which in my opinion is kind of ridiculous.If you are my client and the seller is only paying a 2.5 % fee I won't ask you for the additional 0.5%.

Hi all investor here with a sfh property in Oklahoma, I have been having ongoing plumbing issues almost every week with toilet clogs etc since last year, and recently they had to repair the sewer lines and had to excavate the backyard and living room floors costed me tens of thousands of dollars.

With $150K, I could easily put together a portfolio of 6 rent properties from deals I see every week, including last week.Just get started.

Last year I bought my first property at a foreclosure sale in Dane county, a small 2 bed 1 bath condo on the east side of Madison.

We met at the conference last week.
