Is it a 3 bed 2 bath built in 1990 or newer with a garage and a basement on half an acre for 150,000?

Many 401k plans allow this up to $50k (half your balance up to $50k), and after you pay it back you can do it again.

as happened to your own primary.Without having looked closely at the numbers, it seems that expenses will take up half your rent, and your mortgage will take up the other half, leaving you zero return on your 20% down payment, unless appreciation DOES work in your favor when it comes time to sell.

If your investor is smart, I will have you paint everything and clean the gutters half way and launch a complain, I will then (as the investor) get all my money back plus interests, CSLB will do it for me, all I have to do is launch a complain.

My property is located a mile from a fast-growing university and an interstate with easy access to shopping, restaurants, etc.  

Kashiff Miles

We live in Williamsburg Va about 40 miles from a potential property in Laburnum Heights (Henrico / Richmond area).

I have been everywhere but decided to settle in San Diego California area. 40 miles out is where I want to reside. 

Actually, at the river house, I can see Holden Beach from the top balcony, 4 miles away.Eric,We could do that I suppose, but It will be give and take.

I had to mop the floor about half a dozen times.
