Most lenders require the delinquent balance to be paid before approving a VA loan assumption.

now in this case which is not as nefarious.. they just need to pay the bill.. get proof it was paid and get a lien release signed by the people your paying then show said lein release to title company and then a satisfaction of lien will be recorded that will clean up the title.

It's easy for me to get lost in the grind or to focus on goals instead of progress so I'm glad that I took this moment to remember where it all started and that was with a gamble on this one property that has paid off ever since.

That's including high Baltimore property taxes, expenses, mortgage, etc. 

I’ve been able to calculate all my monthly operating expenses, lowest possible rent, and upgrades.

Also, I have learned in all things that are expensive that a good rule of thumb is go SLOW.

you said "rent covers mortgage." you need it to be significantly higher than the mortgage to cover all the expenses you are going to incur.hope this helps...

If you are setting aside funds for capex, taxes, insurance, or other expenses that don't occur monthly, transfer those funds to Savings each month and hold them there until it's time to spend them.

MA is so so expensive I'm pretty much completely priced out of any areas that make sense.

The offer is still typically (100% of my transactions since August 17th last year) asking for my buyer agent commission to be paid in the agreement..
