Our opinion is your friend is pinching pennies too hard!

Dip a few in chocolate and send them my way...

If that other deal passes it can only pinch rental inventory more is the likely outcome imo.

We do not have a lot of money and definitely are pinching pennies all the time.We have a wedding coming up and closing on a house at the same time, as well as dealing with our current house’s issues.Some things may seem insurmountable but they are not, it is uncomfortable and you may go to bed worrying but most of the time I am excited.I am excited about expanding my future and the future of those around me.I feel like I have more control over where my life is heading and the financial stability for the future.I always felt uneasy throwing money in a distant account waiting until the twilight years of my life to get at it.

So, as Tak suggested, I take other's bad experiences with a pinch of salt.I don't think this applies to Tak's situation but there is something to bear in mind here. 

Not at all tasty, and it won't make you happy, and it will stink.If you are buying a property that has problems and you think you're going to change it for the better, make sure you have enuff "chocolate" to sugarcoat it so you can stand it.

Mostly I got a "call me back when you've got some real numbers" response, and of course, I couldn't have real numbers til after the fact.BUT I could, in a pinch, pay to close on the property using my Heloc and personal funds.

I can always pay more, but if I ever get in a pinch the smaller payment will help out.

Thanks gents, I used to use a signature platform, but as we all try to pinch every dollar I decided to try the rentredi signature platform.

Time is money so paying to get the job done right and done efficiently trumps teaching life lessons or trying to pinch every penny out of a rehab buying doing work yourself.Thoughts?
