They were really happy to have a new home and I suspect to have it over with, but it was a good experience for them and it made my wife happy so ultimate win/win...LOLAs for the cat odor....I was really worried about that but they decided to go with the "Kilz" suggestion.

Can't win them all, however, I am proud to say that even though I ended up with a small net loss of a few grand, all borrowed funds were returned with full interest as always.I did get a great video out of it though and some bragging rights on the design.

Thus if you buy real estate properties now using a long fixed rate and if the rate goes up, you are likely to win in two battle fields:(1) You win against the bank as your mortgage has depreciated.(2) You win against the seller as your home has appreciated.Why Warren Buffett is buying real estate?

HOA fees cover everything except telephone, contents insurance coverage.I was figuring that the appreciation potential from these levels of a renovated unit in a complex with good amenities on a prized beach area would be substantial.The HOA fees have been stable and they are looking for ways to reduce them.Thanks

If you hold for longer than average, you win when paying points.

Persistence wins!

location wins.

But all I see is a more fair play situation, when there are rules, follow them and you can WIN, in china, if you follow the rules, you are a loser for sure.

You have to see many homes to get to the winning investment, but that does not mean making offers on each one of them.

Hello,We just found out that our landlord has been fighting the bank in the house we have been renting the past several months and even though he told us everything is Ok, we just found out that the UD trial is set against him (US Bank) and the bank is expected to win.
