At the last meeting they are still expecting 3 rate cuts this year.

I would be looking for something in the 200k range and have anywhere from 100-130k for a down payment. 

Hey I've represented commercial multifam landlords and we've never really run into issues with CityFHEPS payments.

I can invest up to about $400K as a down payment.

Yes there are some groups you can join that may be low cost and its not one person who is leading the pack of chickens with their heads cut off - but what this shows is you do not need to spend $10,000 or $20,000 +  when there is so much free information out there.

The most commonly known is a non-binding offer from the buyer where the main points to agree upon (e.g. price, down payment, financing structure) are agreed upon before a more formal contract of sale is drafted.

Taxes $69/year, so not too much of a burden.Tips for auctions that I didn't know before -- 1) sit in the back, so you can see who's bidding against you. 2) try to get an understanding of how the payments are applied (I could have done this, but I had no idea what I didn't know, so I didn't know to find out -- ya' know??)

I know a couple that if you even sound like you're wanting to contribute to thier little domain, they will cut the deal for spite!

For example, in 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act temporarily changed the rules for investment interest deductions.

To make a 25% down payment, I need to save $40,000 more over the next 3 months.
