Maybe a seller is afraid that a buyer is going to level that house and they have many childhood memories in the house, so they're being stubborn.

Hi Everyone,As it turns out, the house across the street from my childhood home is getting auctioned on Hubzu.

This is a partnership deal with 3 of my friends, one of which is a contractor/handyman, the other has dealt in REI in the past but has been out of it since the mid 80's, the other is a real estate apraiser with 25 yrs in that field, and I'm a licensed arborist/ horticulturist to deal with the outside end of things. between the 4 of us we are hoping we can handle a few projects and make things work.For now our primary intention is to flip distressed homes but ultimately maybe we could do some renting as well...I've/we've got lots of questions but I'll try to post them in the appropriate areas of the forum...Thanks in advance for any info you're willing to share.For what its worth I'm 43 yrs. young, happily married to my beautiful bride for 15 yrs.

I haven't played the actual board game, but I think it's a good way to introduce concepts and get a feel for investing.Be warned though, it can be kind of tough until you learn the concepts, and a turn-off for people if they fail early on (probably bad childhood memories of Monopoly coming back to haunt them).

Hi All, I'm about to close on a single family residence in my hometown (literally 2 blocks from my childhood home) in N.

I live in Winter Garden, FL with my beautiful bride and three wonderful kids. 

I'm married to a beautiful loving wife; am living a childhood dream of sorts on a  little hobby farm.    

The beautiful young lady in my profile pic is my lovely bride, Laura.

My cousin talks about working at Disney Land, I've not been there in years, but it still brings up memories from my childhood, before we moved to Al in 94.

You know, like a four hour drive from mom and dad, so I can sleep at their house a few times a year and relive my childhood without my wife/kids around.
