We had to go back to the negotiating table to determine if they were going to give a credit or complete the work.

I would like to leave both options on the table.

I can also tell you we hit a number we feel is crazy and equity and my wife said “ it doesn’t feel like we have that type of money“ She is completely right because equity does not put food on the table or buy a plane ticket to travel!  

What you could do is find a loan guarantor- someone who will help you by bringing their net worth to the table- and partner up with them.

We had to pay all utilities except for water and the house only came with 4 bed frames, a small couch and a small dining room table. 

I know in our portfolio, we have a few a month that rather than renew, they are electing to take their chips off the table.  

This is free money you are leaving on table if you are not at least investing up to the match. 

Also, as a passive investor, can anyone give me the broad strokes of any tax benefits they may also be entitled to similar to a solely owned piece of real estate or are those deductions pretty much off the table? 

Maybe a folding table and side by side units.

I have it listed and an offer on the table for the asking price of $129,900.
