Now I am shopping for my first rental without her support.  

Set aside some ground for your future house and shop.  

Walking distance from shops and parks.Financing:I am looking at traditional financing and am lucky to have my parents help with the down payment.

I'm also interested in discussions about the rent moratorium and how others have handled it.I've been in Lakeland about a year and a half and the pandemic thwarted any social networking for me.If anyone's interested in a meet-up for coffee, food, or beers let me know.

I scroll through homes and properties as if I was shopping for clothes just to get used to understanding what I'm looking at and to continuously get better at it. 

I would also advise you to shop around for the best rates and terms to fit your specific circumstance.Feel free to reach out to our team as well for financing and refinancing options.

Get to know her see how she is doing, ask her if you can be of some help to her.Make a friend, show up with coffee and donuts, chat , be a person to her , not a landlord to ditch, help each other.

I would love to meet someone for coffee and talk, I will also be at some of the events in Hagerstown and Chantilly.

After years of "I'd like to eventually do that" and window shopping YouTube videos of peoples success with REI I have reached a point where I think I'm ready.My wife and I have relocated out of state to Orlando for her job.

  $125,000 - $40,000 = $85,000 less realtor fees to sell it, and will a lender finance it in it's present condition.Also, those pier and beams go out of wack all the time and maybe just adjusting them will fix it.Some of the older homes are jacked up with all kinds of automobile junk yard scissor jacks and Auto Zone bottle jacks, piles of rocks, stacks of 2 x 4's on grade, wooden shingles, tar shingles, etc... vs proper peirs.So maybe one of the renters (or one of their friends) crawled under there and removed the jacks to use on their car repair or sell at the pawn shop for beer money and now the floor bounces.Meaning get a 2nd opinion from a pier company (that's legit, has an office and a website, etc...) and have them confirm the ROT--if any.Because the floors do rot (sometimes) and also the piers go out of wack and sometimes also sometimes disappear into thin air--and no one knows what happened to them.Getting a 2nd opinion on if there is rot--with cell phone pics of it--would be smart--if none then adjust/replace the jacks.Good Luck!
