Market value anywhere between 250 and 300KWe need to move due to health issues of my daughter.I'm approved for a VA loan for 250K and can find quite a bit of house around the area for that price.My dilemma is that in order to sale my current house I really need to make some improvements.

I will likely update my lease to have a simple $35 late fee after the 4th and on the 5th automatically post pay or quit notices and just play hardball.

Yes the HOA eats quite a bit of the profit.

They can simply get a bigger fee from true cash buyers as they dont eat up their margins with the extra costs.

He quit his day job and now has his own handyman business and works with most of the local realtors.

Like many of you, "working while working" has always been a part of my life...not quite sure what I would do with a normal 9-5 and nothing else.
