@Sam Abraham when purchasing with FHA you have to intend to live in the property for 12 months.

Quote from @Sam Clemons: @Erik Estrada The loan amount is 135k.

In the Pittsburgh, where I live, there was something of a golden age of building 2-bedroom duplexes, from 1945-1960.Brick-veneer, good mortar, furnace/AC should be replaced with American Standard or Trane ASAP, good-quality vinyl window replacements with no window wrapping (window wrapping is often a curse on brick veneer, because when it fails it tends to hide where water starts getting into the brick and infiltrating the walls).

Quote from @Sam Zawatsky: Hello,I am putting a new roof on a townhouse end unit rental property in the next month, and have been told that the Atlas Pearl colored pinnacle pristine shingles are the same price as the other shingles, but are energy efficient.

@Sam ClemonsThe last couple of years I have been buying my appliances at ABT in Glenview.

Quote from @Sam Yin: I will have to agree with Joe.

The idea of raising asset values gives people the illusion that they have wealth “wealth effect”, if someone is paycheck to paycheck (like most Americans are) but they are told they have 6 figures in “equity”, they still feel strong with their financial position. they don’t feel the need to save, and thus as a consumer driven economy that we are, they continue to live paycheck to pay check without feeling like they aren’t saving, because their “house is saving for them”….but then the fed hits the brakes when too much money gets out into the system and it sucks out all of that phantom equity with higher rates.
