However, those houses are surrounded by people earning an average income of $22,000 a year.Location, location, location.

People think they can use the internet to skip this step. 

Crazy how many people are negative. 

After finding properties that look distressed does people write offers before seeing the inside of the property?

With a house hack, you are actually owning an asset that other people might want. 

@Dakota Mivshek From my recollection I think mostly I was dealing with the secretary of the company or some assistant and these people are all unlicensed, unprofessional, basically don't have any concept of how to structure contracts or even withdraw from a contract unfortunately.  

Now I see people accept the $1000 and turn around and "rent the garage" for $200 per month or "rent the appliances" which is legal so long as the garage are appliances are not included amenities on the HAP contract. 

It seems the people getting loans with lower down payments etc. are ppl with experience and a reputation or relationship with these lenders?  

The one I am seeing now relies on the user to bring their own estimates, and simply tallies them up.

Nobody’s going to send you an email saying you need to move out of your home in 30-60 days because they are selling to someone else who’s going to live there  this alone is a big value to many people  stability  Nobody’s saying you have to buy it.
