But I went ahead and called his broker and so the long, tedious, but ultimately well-worth it, journey began....Issues Before Closing:1.

Based on comps in the area were probably going to be about 10k off on the appraisal which is going to put a kink in the contract.I'm trying to plan ahead - if the buyer does not want to put additional money down to get the ltv in line, what options do I have?

So, obviously someone came in here rehabbed it at some point, and then ran out of money or got foreclosed on...not really sure.We have some challenges ahead for sure.

You are just going to have to go ahead and pay your portion of your housing expenses.

If you can walk into a bank and get a fixed 4% mortgage with 20% for your first 10 deals, you're going to be way ahead of someone who needs to get creative with financing early on. 

My 10-year old son has recently become obsessed with learning how to solve the Rubik’s Cube.I’m uncertain how he became enamored with the toy.He was grounded from electronics for a week.I think it happened during that time.I watched him become very, very frustrated with the puzzle.On his own, without any guidance, he figured out how to solve one side.It took him 13 days to do this (and he practiced a LOT).Finally, he got it.He got the algorithm in his head.First, before I go on, what he did gave me great hope for his future.He persisted.Even on such a silly thing, through extreme frustration, he persisted.He’s ahead of the vast majority of his peers.Now, here’s what happened after this.He got better and better of course, continuing his practice.Once he “mastered” the one side, he became frustrated again.He had an extreme longing to learn how to do the rest, which is, if you don't know the algorithms, almost impossible to do on a routine basis.So, I looked up how to solve the thing.As it turns out, there are very specific moves that will help “easily” solve a Rubik’s Cube (even though it has a massive amount of possibilities).He sat down this past Sunday to learn the first (of many) algorithms.He learned it and had a breakthrough.By the end of that day, he was flying through that portion of the puzzle.Indeed, he had solved the puzzle four times by the end of that day, but didn’t know the algorithms by heart.

I just want to think ahead and make sure I am thinking for the long run.

The fact that you're thinking ahead to the future is a great sign.

I need to do a better job of explaining my policy ahead of time, rather than asking the questions and then explaining the policy when I find a problem.

God bless all of you and thank you ahead of time for any HELP and INFORMATION.
