Pinching pennies, we could probably save up a down payment in a fair amount of time.

I still will have 20k cash reserve in my emergency fund that I always have available and can liquidate other investments in a serious pinch.

@Skyler Smith Hi Skyler, Logan might be a little too far as I live in Kamas but if you're in a pinch I can make it happen.

One is a 4 / 2.5 on a pinch over 3 acres of land in Perry Hall, MD and the other is a 2 / 1 on a little over an acre of land in Airville, PA. 

If you had a choice between Chocolate Cake, or Chocolate ice cream, which would you choose? 

If you do this thing, you must not get yourself in a pinch.

If you put in a room mate in your unit you could have a little cash flow and be staging yourself to buy the next property.Landlords are starting to feel the pinch of last years property tax hike so my feeling is prices are starting to level out or come down a little versus last year so if you shop hard enough you should be able to find a deal that works for you.

maybe some fresh baked chocolate chip cookies and a few tickets to a hockey game will coax her to pay her rent .

New construction is somewhat of a smooth ride after you pass the lot clearing stage compared to FLIP which is like box of chocolate.

Try to come up with other incentives - first month free...50% off first month...nice box of chocolates :)I have always seen a lot of advertisement on Craigslist and then of course you have paid advertisement on all the main sites.
