“My first vision for Apple”– Steve Jobs reflecting upon the clean lines and open esthetics of the Eichler home in which he grew up.Joe Eichler designed many modern residences throughout Silicon Valley.

Since I'm a veteran, and I have some guarantee left, I will be able to get another VA loan for our new primary residence @ 3% down( if I'm wrong about this please let me know).

Here is what it says:"Upon any failure of Resident to occupy the Premises for the full term of a fixed term tenancy, for any reason other than as provided in ORS 90.453(2), 90.472 or 90.475, Owner/Agent may charge Resident either:---A)all of the following: i) all rent, unpaid fees and other non-rent charges accrued prior to the date that Owner/Agent knew or reasonably should have known of the abandonment or relinquishment of the Premises; ii) all damages relating to the condition of the Premises; iii) an early termination fee in an amount not to exceed one and one-half month's stated rent and which is due on the earlier of the date Resident gives notice to vacate or the date the Premises is vacated; iv) interest on the above amounts at the statutory rate from the date each was due, and v) all other amounts due at the times specified in this Rental Agreement; or prospective buyers or B) all actual damages resulting from the early termination, including but not limited to: i) repayment of concessions; all rent through the earlier date the Premises is re-rented and the lease termination date; ii) advertising and administrative costs to re-rent the Premises; iii) concessions given to re-rent the Premises; iv) the difference in rent if a lower rental rate is received from a replacement resident during the remaining term of the original Rental Agreement; v) damages related to the condition of the Premises, and iv) interest on all amounts at the statutory rate.

These were all conventionally financed, 3/2 or 4/2 distressed properties, except for my residence.

u can not require in most states for tenants to do maintenance only to keep neat and tidyI offer a base rent -0 per cent above market and an early "on or before rent due date received" payment discounted rentNot a late feeIf you do NOT enlist in a mortgage qualification coaching service and leave the tenant to procrastinate on get loan pre qualified, in 30 years of doing lease options I see the tenant not being successful at getting a home loan

A couple years ago, my parents were trying to sell their primary residence in Rockland County, NY and were having difficulty all summer long.  

Hello Bigger Pockets Members,I reside in Salt Lake City, Utah and looking for information on real estate.  

Since I worked at a hospital full time, I have access to medical students and residents.

Now that I have a fiancé and a puppy and everything else we just prefer to live in our own residence.
