If a rescission is upon us then I think it will be an opportunity to the people who did their homework.

I don't think it has been easy for them but it is a credit to their mediating power that the love of the kid comes first.

I kid.

I was solely traditional with mutual funds and college savings for kids until recently when I realized I was interested in things not on the pie chart - real estate as an example.  

If you need to cancel because the loan isn’t happening due to an appraisal issue your mortgage broker just tells them the loan isn’t getting approved. you have the loan contingency and that’s all you really need. 4. include a letter about yourself – what you do for a living etc. without it your offer is just a piece of paper with a name – the sellers don’t know who you are and it helps if they have a sense of who they are dealing with. you can even BS a bit and say you really need to close soon for whatever reason – maybe kids are starting school – Sellers like motivation attached to offers – they will believe you will be less likely to walk away or cancel over an inspection item.

My husband and I have considered looking into investing in Laramie as we will have kids going to college in the next few years and figured what better way to house them than an investment property.

(Reason for quitting: I work 90+hrs/wk, about to have a kid, and hate the idea of missing out on them growing up).I did more digging and people told me apartment investing was SFR rental's on crack...economies of scale, better financing terms, more options, easier to raise value, etc.  

Dad, Kids and Pets are on the lease. 

People die, divorces happen, kids from another state inherit property they don't care about, people have time limits on their 1031 exchanges, people win the lottery, etc....I would call every agent you can find and say "hey, I'm ready to buy x....if you find x or anything similar to x...I'm ready to pull the trigger"

I have three kids...so I 'm not looking to dive into anything overly technical.Last summer was 4 Hour Work Week...
