I can afford about 800-1000 per month .

At this point the idea of a new SFR isn't even on the table.Manufactured home living in communities is the answer for affordable housing.

If there was a fire, then they're renting on the insurance money, they can afford the $1600 for the pet deposit.

Second, an umbrella policy on a rental only LLC will be much more affordable than what will be viewed as a construction company.With that said, I'd like to maintain a single checking account for this business as well.

If someone is facing foreclosure, there is some sort of issue w/ affording the house they are in.

RE can be very gratifying.Really helping a young couple buy their first home, making it work for them.Solving problems for others and really saving them from what they saw as devastating or an impossible situation like losing a home.Helping others getting started in some business guiding them to success.Being involved in community, providing safe and affordable housing, no hand out but a real hand up.Assisting people to get back on track in their lives from homelessness.Providing housing solutions through redevelopment cleaning up blighted areas for a better community.Forming relationships with professionals and laypersons that seek your advice is gratifying as well.Having the opportunity to pass on your experiences and knowledge, teaching others how to fish is also gratifying.It's not all about the money, it's more about your contributions in life, to your family and your community

I love putting an offer in a house I know I can't afford yet, but 3 to 9 months later I'll be able to.

Thanks Matt, I agree….and Fred, I just looked at that site and it looks great…very affordable sponsorship.

If you can go to twice a month payment, you think that will solve it, and you can afford the change do it but for a modest charge.

They took the loans out, if they can no longer afford them, it is certainly not the bank's fault.
