@James L, I would think the lawsuit rides with the previous owner, not you.

I'll definitely try to lean on the expertise and connections a GC has, but at the same time I won't allow him to take me for a ride as I have a pretty decent handle on what should cost what.

This is likely the beginning of the next big run-up in real estate, and we're all looking to ride it up and capitalize on the irrational exhuberance that's sure to come.

We have a good sized DFW contingent, in fact I'm riding in a car with two other local members right now.

Do you basically pull the cash flow out for a few years and then fix them or do you just let them ride?

So at that point, let em ride.

Now, they're so afraid of their own shadow and have such little knowledge about what the actual guidelines are, its a pure roller coaster ride waiting to see if you can get a loan done.I will say this.

Are you willing to ride the train 60 minutes one-way to work?

Buying and selling is a roller coaster ride for sure.

My opinion.. try out something local and if you can't afford it, then you probably should probably skip the $6 Starbucks coffees for a while, steal McDonald coupons from senior centers, sell your new car, and ride the bus.Not always the case.
