I'm a partner in a sort of unique company that is a full service appraisal firm (all property types) but also provides civil engineering (mainly subdivision design and development), land surveying and title analysis services.

Hey Mark, we discovered that he creek behind this property created a flood table situation where a builder would only be able to fully rehad this property.

Its a unique property.

That way both of you are bringing value to the table.

On lower priced properties theres usually a cash offer on the table. 

It is a small kitchen, just enough room behind me for a dinner table.

Also, the formal living room is large and we created a doorway in the family room to allow passage to the living room if somebody chooses they want a dining table for formal gatherings.

Uniquely, however, we need a true owners unit give the four person family I head (me, wife, and two young kids).  

@Jonathan Safa I'm glad you mentioned the Roth IRA, because that helps take taxes off the table when making a comparison between Real Estate and other investments.There is nothing about "having someone else pay your mortgage" that by itself represents a superior choice.
