Ie under market value.

2018-03-19 21:17:27 UTC  

Then check the comparisons in the neighbor hood so you kno how much $$ you can put in it w/out losing

2018-03-19 21:19:42 UTC  

There's an auction listing for 11k. It's been on the market for about 700 days with houses in the area listed for 157k.

2018-03-19 21:28:50 UTC  

Hey if post pics of the house I can eye ball it for you, and if I see problems visually, I can explain what I'm looking at and why.

2018-03-19 21:30:37 UTC  

Thanks so much! There's a couple listings I'm considering. Would you mind if I DM you the links in a bit?

2018-03-19 21:30:56 UTC  

Yeah that's cool.

2018-03-19 21:37:34 UTC  

@SamanthaM it's entirely possible that a place like that has something critically wrong with it that the professionals see, but you don't

2018-03-19 21:38:09 UTC  

700 days is a long time for a house that underpriced to sit

2018-03-19 21:38:19 UTC  

Aye

2018-03-19 21:38:48 UTC  

Foundation, termite damage, mold, structural.

2018-03-19 21:41:13 UTC  

All good points. Definitely looking for second/third opinions on this. I have a current max budget of 30k and about a year or so to make a decision. Thank you. Very appreciative of any help.

@RevStench now's our chance

2018-03-19 21:43:05 UTC  

Hahah I was going to say the same thing

2018-03-19 21:43:26 UTC  

I like where your mind is

Pack your tools, bro, we're going to Pennsylvania

2018-03-19 21:44:53 UTC  

@SamanthaM just jokes, btw

2018-03-19 21:45:30 UTC  

Wouldn't mind at all. Need all the help I can get.

2018-03-19 21:50:18 UTC  

@SamanthaM buy a duplex or a Triplex. Live in the worst unit, and fix it up as you go. You will live rent-free for as long as you live there. Any multi-unit should leave at least one unit as cash flow. Does that make sense?

2018-03-19 22:01:21 UTC  

@Deleted User I see where you're going with that, but what if the neighbors are terrible. Won't that devalue the property?

2018-03-19 22:07:10 UTC  

Also it should be somewhere that will last at least 10-15 years.

2018-03-19 22:35:10 UTC  

You're the landlord so they'll be nice. You get to vet them.

2018-03-19 22:36:03 UTC  

FHA requires one year occupancy. Set a 3-year plan of living rent-free, improve the worst unit up to a point or someone will rent it for the going rate, then move out and buy your house.

2018-03-19 22:37:35 UTC  

And by landlord I mean you own all of the units and you just live in one of them.

2018-03-19 22:39:48 UTC  

It's a good idea, let me think about it for a bit.

2018-03-19 22:41:27 UTC  

Any questions feel free.

2018-03-19 22:43:49 UTC  

Tons of questions. Currently flipping through options in the area.

2018-03-21 11:37:35 UTC  

Well, what did you find?

2018-04-15 21:30:37 UTC  

@SamanthaM any interesting follow-up?

2018-04-20 00:35:49 UTC  

Yes and no. Thinking about a nice fixer-upper near my parents house.

2018-04-20 00:37:25 UTC  

However, some life events are in flux so its looking more difficult to commit to a particular area.

2018-04-21 03:03:08 UTC  

Are Redwings as good as some say they are?

2018-04-21 03:04:05 UTC  

Yes

2018-04-21 03:05:27 UTC  

If you like walking on clouds and a lifetime of quality

2018-04-21 03:19:26 UTC  

I am more impressed with my new pair of wolverines than I am any other steel toe work boot I've had in recent years. [including redwings]

2018-04-22 23:12:57 UTC  

My pair of redwings have zero cushioning. I only bought them because I needed steel toe boots for work asap. I replaced the insoles with the fattest ones they had to make it better. I

2018-04-23 10:10:16 UTC  

Danner! Mine are like walking on clouds

Our ancestors also died with hips that didn't work
