Asheville has dropped a bit more than 25% since the peak, and is still drifting slowly downward- or bumping along the bottom depending on who you talk to.

i bought all of them, and mixed with buckets of cheap white paint to make nice soft lavenders and other colors...i had home depot intall the carpet and i threw a granite slab in..i even bought the appliances off of craigslist..i laid down some floating laminate in the kitchen and tile for the 2 baths...i spent maybe 2 or 3 days cleaning the place as well!

I think if your married you might have a wife with a different doc as well so there is another approach have her drop your cards on her contacts and so on you get my drift.

you don't mention how much principal paydown you have each month. few here on BP pay attention to that. you have a ton of income so that's not an issue with floating the payments. i'm assuming you have a decent amount of reserves.i rented out my primary last june, though those on BP said the numbers don't work.

It's that or nothing out here and although house out here are profitable at 200k we in Canada have a floating rate 2.5% but it can go up or down, so if it goes up to 5 % 200 k dept is going to be ugly.

I would recommend having enough liquid cash to float you through six months.

This is one of the ways an otherwise decent Board can drift into that *grey area* of the rules.

the owner of one of the houses is my neighbor's cousin. he is deceased and according to her had no family. im assuming his house would be floating around with the state somewhere. it doesn't sound like he was the type to carry a will. how can i research who owns his house now?

I'll also look into the potential of insurance money floating around.Thanks everyone for your help.

Just like any seller would.I suppose there might be some market resentment that floats around, where street level folks think the bigger guys are getting better discounts.
