We determined to buy a home in each of these locations in a mobile home community and went to them during the best weather of the year in each.Even though I retired at age 29 and have explained that both in my book and on Bigger pockets, it did not hurt my ego to stay in something for a lot less than $850,000!

@Kristin DaveyHey Kristin, any chance you have any friends/relatives/co-workers you wouldn’t mind living with?

I don't think your parents 401K can lend to you as a related party.

I am the definition of a local Pittsburgh investor, and I have nothing to gain or lose through any sort of interaction with you.The thought buying anything in Pittsburgh sight unseen for any reason with the help of people I'm not related by blood or marriage to makes me break out in a cold sweat.

From the report, I saw: owner will pay$1530 for Bait Defend System Trelona, and $2560 Related Repair

I love all things related to real estate!!  

I have asked both my realtor and the lender and neither felt comfortable answering with all the changes in tax code in 2018.My questions are tax related.  1. 

Definitely start jumping into the community here and feel free to ask any questions related to Real Estate investing!

Assuming it was a bluff i went a little higher (about my max) and sure enough another buyer won.I found out a year later when it was related, the wife of the flipper was also an agent and I believe might have worked for the same company as the listing agent.

It's all relative...and you should ask yourself, what was your opinion of real estate in 2008 - 2009?
