John Lopes Paranoid about starting out, heres my Dilemma
20 January 2008 | 6 replies
I have explored all these options and still dont know where id want to start, when it comes to modifying homes, I dont got many, or any skills infact that can help me with that, when it comes to renters, I have heard many stories of them not wanting to pay, and the landlord going through a hardtime to get them out or get their money, or even both, and lastly with buying homes in developing areas, and this sort of covers all 3 of the topics I covered, all I hear these days is how bad the market is and how we may go into a recession, the reason this rumour worries me is because I know my parents were affected by the last one in the late 1980s n early 1990s, and I dont want to suffer the same fate.
