i don't know the area but it doesn't appear to be worth it. and Zillow is definitely not reliable

It really depends on you as a person. There is so much that you could say about each strategy. I think most people that understand the art of leverage do not follow dave ramsey. however, zero debt can lead to better sleep each night for certain people. Following Ramsey will take a lot longer to aquire assets. Its definitely slow and steady paced. I apologize, my articulation is a bit off today. But good luck either route you chose.

Was wondering if anyone can shed some light on this situation. I am looking for a new primary. My wife and i want to fix up something ourselves to the best of our ability. we found a forclosure asking price 389k. i noticed that the bank took back the house for 354k. im sure its different everytime, but generally speaking, would the bank entertain an offer of 354k to get if off of their books? Or will they stay firm at 389 until months and months have passed?
I guess i can offer anyway. it wont hurt. just looking for general information so i can answer my wifes many questions about why i am doing what i am doing. thanks in advance

It is weird that the positive reviews are left by "members" w/ only a couple posts.
