Hell yeah brother. BOOMERTOWN Usa

2018-09-16 15:32:59 UTC  

By then, my savings will be more than sufficient for a very sizeable down payment

2018-09-16 15:33:13 UTC  

Never get a 30 year

2018-09-16 15:33:18 UTC  

I’m sure you know that but still

2018-09-16 15:33:34 UTC  

30 years are the worst thing on the planet

2018-09-16 15:33:45 UTC  

I plan on putting down at least half the value of the home

2018-09-16 15:34:00 UTC  

15 should be no problem for you then

2018-09-16 15:34:37 UTC  

I’m not incredibly well versed in real estate finance but uh. Spending over twice what a property is worth just sounds unpleasant.

2018-09-16 15:34:49 UTC  

Obviously, given my profession, I won't be able to live like a king, but I'm very frugal and have some money tucked away

2018-09-16 15:35:20 UTC  

I'm looking at $150k properties

2018-09-16 15:35:34 UTC  

It's hard to do, but shit, it's a goal

2018-09-16 15:36:06 UTC  

A 150k property in central Florida probably isn’t *too* hard to find

2018-09-16 15:36:13 UTC  

You can get houses for 6k here

2018-09-16 15:36:21 UTC  

You wouldn’t want to live in them.

2018-09-16 15:37:16 UTC  

You can find tear downs around here for that kind of money, but it's hard to secure loans, and demolition is expensive

2018-09-16 15:37:52 UTC  

I mean, most here are that cheap because of the area.

2018-09-16 15:38:04 UTC  

Ooooooooh

2018-09-16 15:38:10 UTC  

*the area*

2018-09-16 15:38:18 UTC  

OOOOOOOOH

2018-09-16 15:38:30 UTC  

Yeah it’s cheap because it’s in Darfur.

2018-09-16 15:44:44 UTC  

False Flag

2018-09-16 15:45:11 UTC  

Mhmm.

2018-09-16 15:45:29 UTC  

Just something pretty I saw.

There's an Instagram account called "Cheap Old Houses" that features *gorgeous* old fixer uppers all over the country for less than 100k. Caveat, they're all in *certain neighborhoods* or really economically depressed areas. My Victorian renovation dreams are still on hold.

2018-09-16 15:48:50 UTC  

@micbwilli Cool, but holy crap, it's gonna send me into a seizure, lol.

2018-09-16 15:49:26 UTC  

I wish it would slow down a little. Definitely looks cool. @micbwilli

2018-09-16 15:49:44 UTC  

ah, my daily dose of epilepsy is going well

2018-09-16 15:49:48 UTC  

hahah

2018-09-16 15:49:51 UTC  

I didn't know gifs played instantly on discord.

2018-09-16 15:49:58 UTC  

don't mind me, I'll be on the floor writhing

2018-09-16 15:50:52 UTC  

@Salo Saloson make sure to lay on your side so you don't choke on the mouth foam.

2018-09-16 15:52:33 UTC  

thanks for the tip

2018-09-16 15:59:32 UTC  

Is it a sign you're about you have a baby if you get songs like "I'm a Little Teapot" stuck in your head (asking for a friend)

2018-09-16 16:01:47 UTC  

I work in mortgage, so if anyone needs advice on obtaining a loan, feel free to ask.

2018-09-16 16:02:19 UTC  

I hope everyone is having a wholesome day so far. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOlqsqZzgg4

@John O - The interest rate is usually a little less on a FIX15 than on a FIX30; however, the FIX15 payment is greater than a FIX30 payment. When you have the funds, you can always pay extra principal on a FIX30, to pay it off sooner, but still have a smaller required payment for leaner months.

2018-09-16 16:06:23 UTC  

I have a FIX30 and I make about two extra payments every year.

2018-09-16 16:06:24 UTC  

That's the plan

2018-09-16 16:07:24 UTC  

I wage-cuck as an underwriter, so feel free to ask me any questions, should you have any, about the home loan approval process.
