If you try to hit a home run or grand slam, don't be surprised if you strike out.

Week of 7/28 - 8/3:Accomplishments:- We got two of our new construction homes under contract.- We closed on two of our new construction homes in Palm Bay.Lessons:- Velocity of money is important.

I am still staying at home, my girlfriend has one more year of law school and then we will stay with my parents for one year before looking to buy our primary home with joint income.

We are looking for any information and advice in renovating a log home in Connecticut. 

@Guy KerenI’ve got 18 SFR in the DFW area and target the 150-200k range homes that don’t need much work.

If you are in a market where you don't have a lot of sold data, a couple distress homes could tank the valuation. 

We are renovating a home in the Catskills and stuck on what railing to install on our outdoor deck—cable or metal.  

So while I can't claim to speak for every financial institution out there, it's a very broad survey, finding an option not contained there might involve making quite a few phone calls.When I see 30 year fixed, 30 year amortization, 30 year maturity (basically, identical terms to a consumer-friendly kid-gloves home loan), which does in fact pop up if I specifically search for it, it's almost always at a rather high interest rate, and the borrower doesn't opt for it.

The only thing we are a bit confused on is he said you can simply "back out" of the deal if you change our mind...but how would you just "back out" of the contract if there is nothing actually wrong with the home?

I currently have a duplex and 2 single family homes but I found a 8 plex that needs some rehabbing.
