Greater chance of a stock market drop, since we are in a long-term bull market and Price/Earning ratios are in neverland.

Then property values drop pretty dramatically, pretty quickly.

I think I got 66K or something out of it (big reason was to drop the interest rate almost 1.25%

@Tucker CummingsWhen you borrow from your 401k and IRA you can not deduct the interest as investment expense as you are reimbursing yourself.If you borrow from a margin account you may be able to deduct the interest if the proceeds are used for investment.The leverage on margin is usually not very high and you are taking way more risk to trigger a margin call that will wipe out your profit if you need to fire sale during a market drop to satisfy it.I would suggest that you look at overfunded permanent life insurance policies as their cash value can be borrowed against very easily.Also they continue to compound based on the full amount even if you have loans out.

Our first set is complete and will be dropped off tomorrow.

That sounds great, @Joshua Clark Be sure to drop me a line when you get situated, or need any help doing so, Goodyear is the next town over.

@Petra M.Typically, if you're dealing with a range/oven combo, it's a simple drop in.  

Unless you JUST dropped the price substantially when they offered on it (Maybe like $30-40K) these guys are most likely idiots that don't know what they are doing and are wasting your time.Ask them for a large nonrefundable deposit and see if they are still serious.What kinds of contingencies do they have?  

Well your broker is not going to let you drop the commission and the split.

Any home can have damages, a teenager who drops his barbells on marble floors in a basement game room....ouch, they leave the damage deposit and walk off.
