IMO (and in the opinion of literally every expert I've spoke with), this isn't 2008 where home prices were inflated by fraudulent loans and over investment: It's not a bubble, its' inflation.If a house in Harford County cashflows then its probably a good investment.

It really doesn't look terrible, the contractors bid things to make money and not gamble.

@Nikki BaiNot sure I’d take the gamble of waiting.

I think having enough funds and a good home inspection and contractor that you can trust is a much in the  beginning otherwise you are just gambling.

Bad because often 20% is the minimum down, frequently it goes to 25% down, interest rates higher, terms overall less favorable.As for funding the down payment, save, gamble, pick up a second or third job, borrow from family or have family/friends invest with you, get an active partner, etc.

is no gambling action.

DO NOT work with this office. I’ve had 2 real estate deals fall apart when they were suppose to be signed by both parties. The seller agreed on the price and terms until they had to meet with this attorney to go over ...

But after reading articles like this https://bang.ro/online-gambling-in-the-usa-is-it-legal/, I realized that the guy didn’t do anything so bad (except getting himself into terrible debts).Back to my question.

Whatever you want to call it, someone gains fraudulent title to your property through stealing your identity.

No agreement covers what the managing partner can do - go gamble at craps your odds are better at making a return than in a real estate partnership.
