They may offer some warranty or guarantee to limit your loss, consider that such are probably tied to a portfolio to replace your note, it's probably weighted in their favor, it may be a good cover to use to limit their liability to appease an investor when things do go wrong.

I wouldn't put much weight on using Trulia or Zillow. 

You'll also be personally guaranteeing mortgages made with institutional lenders and it's your personal credit that carries the weight.

Through-body porcelain tile costs barely more than ceramic for the materials, the same for the install, and is far more durable. 

The unit isn't rented until you have CASH IN FIST and a warm body in the unit.

Markets that have potential for big appreciation run up are not going to be 2% rule markets... you must weight these factors plus quality of life..

I personally feel that consumer debt is like swimming with ankle weights on. 

Frankly if you do have to evict you are probably going to be under estimating your costs but this is a risk weighted calculation adjusted for probability.

This is true of any organization affiliated with JP Morgan Chase and TD Bank for sure.Also, remember bigger institutions license the FICO algorithm and are able to put in their own weights to get your credit score.

I run a business from my office at home in Chicago...I am starting to build out a decent size team now, when before all my help was from Independact Contractors (Virtually).I have been looking at some office space.Here is a cliff notes version of what's going on:I need an office where I can shoot Youtube Videos (Twice The Speed TV)...My videos consist of workouts for athletes so I would need to put down some turf and rubber flooring to bring some weights in there.I don't know whether I should try to lease something (short term) or just buy something (like an industrial Condo) and then fix it up to how I want.I have the capital to do either, so I am just wondering what would the ideal approach be if I am looking to get an office in Chicago.Thanks,JC
