Making it too difficult to qualify.The central bank meeting is not a good sign and it seems that S&P spoke too soon.

Ask what month the high winter bill was in and high summer (or gas for heat and electric for air).

Air travel is generally not expensive, so going to an area is helpful to assess commuting issues, neighborhoods, and see particular houses.

AND: my wife's family is here and we would have a good network to help us get started.2nd choice: Northern or Central NJ -- many of our closest friends live in the NY/NJ/Philly area, I spent 7 years living in NJ and the proximity of NYC makes NJ a really attractive place for us to live.

@Brandon Sturgill The formula isn't pointless, it is better than pulling a number out of the air, but it does have its flaws depending on what your strategy is and who you are selling to.

Also, try netronline.com as a central repository of some public records.Each state is different, so someone in Kansas may be able to answer your question.

New member who is also new to the Hamilton/Trenton NJ area. I am a fairly recent college grad who is starting a career in commercial appraising, but my ultimate goal is to invest in multi family investment properties....

Hello, I'm a new member here from Belton, Texas. Looking to learn more about RE investing and particularly, HML for doing some rehabs/flipping on some properties I have been looking at.

As well, the person in question has multiple income streams, is local, has a wife and kids, was an Air Force pilot, and from what I was told, pays back his loans on his flip projects (for which he pays 10%).

If it were me I would weld a heavy steel tab like a 3" section of square tube to each steel post on an angle then about 6' away dig a 4' deep post hole and put a large timber or steel post in it and use my air over hydrolyic jacks to push the wall back.This would at least get the wall away from the house for a few years until you can come up with another plan and the money to do it.I just jacked a house up 6" that had sunk in one corner using four of these jacks, they lifted the place effortlessly.I'm sure you can find someone to temporarily push the wall back and brace it.
