Moorpark is a great compromise between quality of life and pricing, which is why I chose to live here.Flipping can be done in any of the above areas due to the ever-present escalation of home values the state and country is experiencing, but you really need to be buying REO's or off-market deals to do so, and those deals are rare as it is.Buy-and-hold can be done in any of the above areas as well, but certain areas may be better for you depending on what you want.

I know we have plenty of that even in my own family.I think it's a short leap from that to, "The only reason I don't succeed financially is that I'm not willing to compromise my ethics and personal morality to the point that other people do.

Is BiggerPockets server being compromised?

The seller is not sure how the damage happened (doesnt have kids, property hasnt been vandalized to seller knowledge) My question is, how big of a problem is having bent/slightly damaged AC fins does that compromise the effectiveness of the AC unit as a whole?

Again, personally, I think it looks fine--on the side of the house--if there is a tiny bit of tell-tale evidence of the old window, if it's done well and professionally, and I don't think it compromises the architectural integrity inside or out.

If you're not buying up to the maximum you can qualify for you should be fine.If you'd like to be in a ready position you could always get your credit, income, and assets reviewed and planned for in advance, because a loan is basically compromised of those three areas.LIke Chris mentions above though, if you buy a property that positively cash flows using the formula of 75% of gross income minus your mortgage payment per month (PITIA - principal/interest/tax/insurance/assessments)  = a positive number then "yes," your DTI will go down each time you buy another property.

They celebrate paying off their outsized mortgage because for them it's a great life-changing accomplishment.They mourn when they have to leave the house that they spent so much of their lives in, like their cheap ticky-tacky tract-built place is an ancestral estate handed down from time immemorial and their lives are bound up with the soil it rests on.They fill their houses with just ungodly amounts of their crap, trying to own it more fully.They hire people to do the simplest jobs in their house because they're worried to death about structurally compromising the joint: "Oh no, if I replace this faucet and the faucet leaks there will be massive damage and a contractor will have to give me a quote and I'll have to file a claim with my insurance, and, and, and..."

A lot of the homes that are completely gone are still barren with some where the land is put up for sale.For homes that were damaged, they ended up demolishing it rather than repairing due to structural integrity being compromised.
