That's where the rubber meets the road...bank really doesn't care about the subject to just that the mortgage is getting paid.Both Brians give you good advice - be very leery of condos as HOAs can either change or enforce rental rules and limitations at the stroke of a pen...you can fight them legally but most times, once you start to fight with lawyers...you've already lost the battle.

For me it wasn't until earlier this year that I realized I NEEDED to make a change in my life and how I earned my income.Early in 2013, a co-worker of mine had a stroke at 35 years old.

I think you can't broad stroke things on a macro level.Houses here in Georgia I read an article the other day that values are up 12% over last years pricing.There are many markets that are regular appreciation markets.

Different strokes for Different folks.

Different strokes for different folks, there's no right or wrong on this stuff.

What a great stroke of luck!

My uncle's been responsible for the house and because of a stroke he had 1.5 yrs ago, he wants to sell.

He's already offered to take a note, if I were you I'd get that price closer to value, sell the seller on tax savings and interest income, get a partner that you can buy out who can come in with the down stroke.

ANYONE of ANY age can slip, have a stroke or heart attack, etc.

I've had my painter spray all of my cabinets, and they come out perfect (and no brush strokes to worry about).
