I figure if I could find a killer deal that maybe it would be worth it to pay an extra couple thousand and start now instead of later while still realizing what Jon says; of knowing if you can make it work or not at the worst situation.

I'm in a similiar situation dealing with an agent that slow to respond.

My situation is a two year contract amort over 20 yrs, 7% interest, with 6% down.

Also there's the chance that JNJ goes to $48 and I bought at $53, but if I'm thinking of buying at $58, it is still a better situation.

Once your financial situation is corrected, then start thinking about investing.

My situation is this: The owner of a home I want has been deceased for approx. 5 years.

If you learn about someone thinking of selling or in a situation where they should/might sell but who doesn't have a Realtor, that may still be a great deal.

The judge gave them a couple of minutes to "explain the situation", then looked at me and asked if I had anything to add.

the no money down hype may be applicable in some situations. but i don't think its something a newbie should be expecting.. especially with challenged credit..

what's the best course of action in a situation like mine?
