It is clean and safe, but not overly nice, and there is a major eyesore property next door to this one.It has new siding, new paint and new floors and does not appear to have super aged water heater/ac/roof but I intend to have a home inspection to verify the big stuff.

Do the credit check.

Its just a major pain. 

A major part of understanding your market is understanding the numbers and the trends.

Hi everyone, I'm currently a senior at CSU Chico with a major in accounting.

I just got a house that I want to pull cash out of, however I need a credit partner.

We are looking at a swap with a major bank.  

if you get a break down and it shows you are paying $10,000 for cabinets, yet you know you can get cabinets for $5000, would you go back and ask for them to credit back and use the cheaper ones?

I would always put at least 20% down on both properties to avoid PMI, but does it matter where I put the majority of my down payment, whether it be on the house I live in or the house I rent out?  

I would think local bank or credit union. it would likely be too small for other lenders.
