Don't say "I can't afford that".

I cannot afford another case of gross ineptitude.

If you're talking buy and hold your best bet for affordability and appreciation are Milwaukie and Lents.

I haven't found any hard money out there I could afford to use on a project, makes no sense. 6 points and 12% interest.

While he lived there, it was fine - he could afford to pay the $1000 difference + repairs + vacancy loss, etc.

I use my guy, not because he wears a suit and has a glossy card (he wears shorts and a t shirt), but he knows all the houses in my area in my price range and how much they sold for, what was wrong with them, etc.

This loan payment was amortized for 30 years to make it affordable.
