Will be putting in an offer tonight, but I'll be taking some measurements and crunching some numbers to see if I can rehab it within the budget I'm willing to spend.

We went over budget by about $5,000.. we made up for the loss on the flat fee listing end saving around $3,500 on selling cost.Putting the sign in the front yard today, photographer comes by tomrorow.

When you guys buy a house to live in for a long period of time, do you buy as an investment hoping for appreciation or based simply on a budget and find something that meets your location, size, and architecture requirements?

I budget for a typical rehab regardless of what condition the owners says it's in.

Said simply, the transaction costs as a percentage of the amount raised (up to 20% on $1 million) is simply too high compared with other options available. http://www.forbes.com/sites/deborahljacobs/2013/04/17/the-trouble-with-crowdfunding/http://thehill.com/blogs/congress-blog/economy-a-budget/299341-is-crowdfunding-to-be-crowdlessI believe the JOBS act better qualifies to startups due to (a) startups dont require that much capital at first; and (b) aside from angel investors, its the only option they have given their risk profile.

Also - you'll notice we opened up that wall on the left, which was a HUGE undertaking that blew my budget by $5k alone (there were 2 load bearing walls right there.

Being $ 250/month off on the budget is a lot, no matter how much the rent is.

I'm a new owner and trying to come up with budget on what I should fix now or put on the back burners.The building is newly painted but the front and backyard is nothing but dirt.I need a new roof, 2 2 car gargage doors( right now the garage are used as storage and not parking) and the laundry area has only a washer.(4 unit building) I need a new roof which cost 20k or to repair the roof will cost me 4k.

They say they have a bunch of appeals to work through but really it is a stall tactic to take high property tax fees today of their struggling budgets interest free and then pay out later when the economy and their tax base is stronger.
