Interesting you said that, I was thinking to myself earlier today "I hope the real estate market crashes soon so I can buy up a bunch of properties on clearance!"

The meeting starts at 6:00 PM.You can arrive at any time but from 6:00 - 6:45 PM they'll have a Q&A which is very helpful for newbies.

Work on improving your credit score and building your cash reserves.Do you intend to house hack upon arrival?

Oh and I didn't see the part where you said wait, to save more money absolutely not, buy now trust me buy now and later keep saving find that deal leverage your self now that market is hot price are believe to be high but I was a Analyst for 6 years during the crash and my 2 cents they gonna get higher.

The first one that I googled was VTI at 0.05% expense ratio, while returning 228% since the crash in 08, or if you include the crash it's 75% over a 10 year period, not counting it's ~2% per year dividends.3. 

I did not find out that it was a manufactured home until the appraiser went out and called once he arrived to tell myself and my Realtor that it was a manufactured home.

This house is at a good price, but when we arrived, the agent mentioned that there is a $66,600 tax lien on the house.

The property was purchased in 04 before the crash and has become a liability, mostly my doing for not being well versed in money management and cashing out equity on the home. 

That is kind of scary if the prices have just recovered to pre-crash levels.

We always start from a financial side of thing and move forward, when it's time to inspect the property we arrive with our contractors and really get cost and condition to confirm what we already expect.Good luck!
