@Brian Ploszay @Lewis Christman @Immanuel SiberoHey guys, I had the same question.

I'm not a finance guy and i don't know your financial situation, but you would probably need close to a 200k yearly income to purchase that on FHA loan and i have not seen too many young families to be able to do that.I'm guessing you are already pre-approved though if you are already working with other realtors.My advice to you would be to be more realistic with what you want and what you can afford and what you should offer to a property you like in order to have a chance to get it.If you had purchased a 400k property 2 years ago, you would already have about 40-60k in appreciation so keep that in mind next time you put an offer on a property. 

Craigslist ‘handyman’ specials - these guys have already done searching2.

the Rarebird group is the go to group in the area good guys run it ..

What do you guys think?

Hey guys!

I had brought up the point that most places are going for 5-10% off asking, as well as I’m saving her the 6% she would be paying in agent fees since the awesome guys at Deacon-Hoover are handling my paperwork, but was only able to bring her down to $195,000 which she seems pretty firm at.My dilemma is I really like the place, I have a ton of tools and constantly flipping/rebuilding motorcycles, cars and jet skis so having a garage in the city is very crucial to me.

We have a guy who does bouncey houses as a side business and he stores all of his equipment in the garage.

A lot of guys will do 3 - one on each end and one in the middle.
