@Karen DixonJill has some great advice for you on the first page of this thread but her @ symbol didn't work right, so I thought I'd let you know in case you didn't see it.

-- the only real difference in the above two calculations is a subtraction symbol is replaced by a division symbol, and you get wildly different results.Doing math "your" way is actually a thing, that $1000 left over is called "residual income" by us, and there are some loan programs that require it in addition to checking the DTI box.

We are going to Paris for our Wedding during Thanksgiving which will be a symbolic wedding and we technically don't have to get our marriage license in the states until after we close on the house.  

Let us know if you find any way to hit your jackpot, we will all follow suit.

If they say Nationwide, then you hit the jackpot because you can look anywhere. - Ask them what ARV (After Repair Value) or LTV (Loan to Value) they purchase at minus the repair costs.

I have asked sellers where they would be most comfortable meeting and taken their recommendations.A private dining room can be good as well, given the symbolism of eating together. 

@Garrett Hicks the search is the little magnifying glass symbol in the very top right corner of the page.

In order to tag someone type the @ symbol followed by the first few letters of their handle and they should pop up as a tag option so long as they've already chimed in on the topic or are colleagues of yours. 

It has the "®" symbol but I didn't understand who they were registered with.

haha... then we are guaranteed to hit the jackpot!
