Sure, it's better than being below average, but I for one am sick and damn tired of sitting in a friggin cubicle working my *** off for someone else who will lay me off when the quarterly reports dip, chunking money into a 401(k) that earns a paltry 13% per year on average.

Instead of waiting for that one deal that could take months and months to get.

No @Tonya F. unfortunately you cannot issue a new lease - you must wait for the current one to expire to add new clauses.

Actually it's probably sitting there waiting for our contractors to start work.

If you do not pay, attorneys go to court on behalf of association and file a FED (a forcible entry and detainer action) to basically evict you, the owner, and take possession of your unit and then (wait for it...) rent your unit out to a bonafide tenant until the delinquent account has been satisfied.

And the rate is a bit higher (quoted me 4.75) than if I waited for 6 mos seasoning.

I have not made any investments of my own (other than building my house) and can't wait to get started.The reason I am leaning towards flipping houses is because I am good with my hands and find that my return can be directly related to how hard I work sounds promising.

So here are my two real options as far as I see it (other then waiting and continuing to save):1.)

They are less interested in filing foreclosure and waiting years to get properties back, than they are of getting the returns on their investments of the loan.

If you wait until everything is perfect, life will go by fast and you may be really old, like 30. :-) I wish you success!
