Figure out what you have spent on your wheels in the last year repairing.

I spent $1000 on the lien and will be in for about 4-5K on my property depending on how long it takes for foreclosure to happen.

In the months we spent looking, anything that looked like a good deal with some work was either priced too low or wouldn't meet VA requirements without a few thousand on hand for repairs, inspections, etc.

Have you spent any time on Houzz for additional ideas?

I spent a lot of money fixing the place up so I would be able to show a fat loss on my taxes.

I easily could have spent 2-3x as much had it been for my own house.

(I spent today creating different logos that I will probably post for community feedback as part of our selection process.)BP has shifted our thinking into high gear.

I live in Alexandria but spent the last 5 years in Arlington.

We have the proof the money was brought in, now if the management company misused used it or spent it, that's a different scenario.

I spent the last year in and out of my local REIA, I too have mixed feelings.
