Need to rip that Band-Aid off first month they don't pay rent and as soon as legally possible for your state.Plan to move out, hope you're not being played, but it's typical buying time language. 

So they go and list it on MLS for 260 it never sells of course because its no deal.it swings back to me and sure enough.. once we dug into it a little more these guys did not realize she owed 195kk against it and it was in foreclosure.. about to be lost.. so they had it tied up  had fouled up her title by recording that document and they were going to lose out. so long story short I told them I would give them 6k and the seller 5k. and stroke a  check on the spot for 211k.. and it was done.they were lucky to get that. but they would have had no compunction ripping 100 to 150k of equity from this older lady in distress.I leveled the house built a new construction that sold for just under 750k and we made right at 200k net profit on the deal.. but I would have passed if I thought these guys were ripping this ladies equity I don't care how much I would have made I can make that on another deal and not take advantage..now granted when folks CLOSE and then resell well all bets are off and its harder to go back and see what someone paid for things.. 

It will save you money over time for sure and paying down debt is not a dumb decision.If all you have for debt is your primary mortgage, it may be a great use of extra dollars at least until you get below 80% LTV and get the PMI rip off removed.

Check BBB, Rip-Off Report, Yelp, etc. for reviews. 

They're new to being tenants and they appreciate getting educated without getting ripped off. 

Gives you a ripped and tapered look.

If you buy with cash and don't lend it to yourself from another entity - wait at least 6 months.RO is for Rip Off fees

Like the PM portion, it helps me learn what to expect from contractors so I know I'm not getting ripped off.

We ripped out the carpet yesterday, and the wood floors may or may not be salvagable.I opened up the wall behind the bathroom yesterday to chase down a leak, and found some bad plumbing and some mold and rot. 

Turns out elm is very dense wood, so the extremely heavy branch ripped off a corner of the neighbor's house on its way down: shingles, gutter, soffit, fascia board, even the framing of the overhang lookouts and some of the siding.
