Just pick a number that works for the deal and stick with it.I'll have my realtor keep entering the number every other day or so.I literally just got one about 2 weeks ago where they accepted an offer I had put in over 2 months ago!

In general, I'm happy with my production in 2013 for the amount of effort that I put in.

If a lender sees that you bought a 69K appraised house 14 months ago, the may ask for the costs of improvements, if you only put in 10K, they may want another appraisal or they may just lower the loan they are willing to fund.

Paid 118000 for the property with 5% down and interest rate of 4.625 FHA.I only intend to live in it for the minimum allowable by law although I did get the 1-4 family rider.I would like to keep it and rent the lower unit for around 800 per month for a total of 2100 per month and the mortgage pmi insurance and taxes comes to 937 per month, so it cash flows.I believe the value of the home will have increased dramatically as I put in a lot of work to the house.

The question is, are they really coaching you and what are you actually getting for the $$ you put in.

Hey all, We recently put in an offer on a homepath property that had been on the market for 150+ days.

Grant it you will need to put in the work to be successful,but this accounts for anything worth doing in life period.

If you really like the deal, buy it and don't get too distracted by the opportunity to make another $5-7K by negotiating with lien creditor.

It was difficult getting their repair crew out because of the all of the claims this weather event created but yesterday they came out and removed all the carpet, some walls, and put in dehumidifiers to dry everything.Here's how I understand the insurance will work.

Since there's a vent, I'm not required to have a mechanical fan.When I have glass block windows installed in a basement, I have at least two vents put in for air circulation, which is code.
