I could see tile underneath, and from the appearance I believe it may contain asbestos.Since I haven't dealt with homes this old before, that then triggered the thought that there may be other materials in the home that contain asbestos.

You can transfer the title into an LLC later but that can trigger a due on sale clause.

I've been on the sidelines too long and need to pull the trigger on something soon.

It’s not like they are going to close up shop and leave you high and dry.

My wife and I just went through this and pulled the trigger on a place at 650k- a far cry from the 400k we spent 10 years ago on our first.I think there is something to it IF you have pride in home ownership, have young kids or are big on entertaining- I personally love my house, it’s the fortress of solitude (well..relative solitude, see above about young kids) 

There is a portion that is clean enough to hang around and another part is not clean enough with dry leaves from my neighbor's trees and other debris.My new tenant is pushing me to have the backyard fully cleaned.

But you will also have some issue with your lender as the transfer to the LLC may trigger the due on sale clause.

Because I was not ready to pull the trigger at the time, I realized my inquiries were not nearly as important as the leads coming across their desks each day.

If still in expansion mode and your loan is long term, I'd keep the cash liquid.I only accelerated mortgages after stocking my dry powder, then focused on higher rate and/or risk loans.  

Hello,I just want to know how do you approach your neighbor when his trees start messing up your backyard with dry leaves and twigs?
