so we seem them coming and going a bunch.. also my buddies painted theirs with a war bird theme.. retired united guys. 

To pay for our youngest son's wedding. 

Obviously don’t want this to be a recurring theme.

Hey @Stephen Betteridge, congratulations on your upcoming wedding!   

Hey BP community,I'm a first time homebuyer that wants to make my first home a rental down the road and I'm evaluating a property in Hurst that I have an opportunity to jump on pre-market.Here are the details on the house:1316 Redbud dr. 3bd/2bath1910sqft, 10+ year old AC/Heat system 4 yr old roofold water heaterThe house needs new floors in all bedrooms and the kitchen needs updating.Enclosed rear porch.The comps in the immediate area, based on my rookie evaluation came out around 220k and they want 230k for the house as-is with a lease back option for a couple months to accommodate my upcoming wedding.

., initially unequal co-ownership but where you could buy back X% over time until you get to 50-50, or something else entirely).Seller financing, as @Dennis M. said, is another great creative strategy, it's a variation on the partner theme, except the "partner" is debt partnering with the former owner.

He schedules for that wed/thurs and cancels out of the blue.  

You will learn more from them than you could imagine.At a wedding for one of these guys' kids, he told me I was as much as a son to him as any of his blood children.

Keep your wedding vows.

You will see the themes.
