With the sale of the house and property taxes, I think the timing of the sale and notices being sent could have been the problem.

- Everyone: What solutions do you see to make housing more affordable?

Yeah, I was thinking of buying a triplex and house hacking starting next year.

Cash to close is around 47-48k with a 5% conventional to house hack.

At this point, we are three weeks away from closing on our first house (August 22nd).

Hi - I’m relatively new to the real estate game and am just starting to read multiple books involving this topic.I noticed a house being cleaned up two weeks ago, talked to maintenance people, and was in the right place at the right time to talk to the owner.

Best price house in the zipcode though in a good B area. 

My purchasing power can afford me a house down there and I also work in South Jersey (Cherry Hill) and live in central jersey.

Luckily my cash offer to buy a house was outbid and I didn’t get the property I made an offer on. lol I have taken five 401k loans up to 50k to buy houses.

Purchase price: $150,000 Cash invested: $100,000 Recently completed a purchase and renovation of a multi-family house in Cleveland Heights, Ohio (BRRRR Method).
