Why does he need to rent? He already lives at the institution.

@Curt Davis I can't see making an offer BEFORE actually seeing what i am making the offer on? How the heck can I know what to offer? Why would I want to go through the effort to make an offer, then find out that there is no way I would buy the house?

I am having a similar issue with a duplex that interests me now. Having trouble getting in. As the home is over 100 years old, I must see it before making any offers.

As above, AND change the lock so that it can't be locked before the door is closed, needing the key to lock it. If it has a deadbolt replace the bottom knob with a non-locking one.

To my rookie eye this does look like a nice property. How much do you expect it to rent for?

I think that people are afraid of debt. I still have a hard time convincing my wife that debt can be good. If I knew then what I know now, instead of paying off the mortgage I would have simply invested the extra in the stock market, as I was not investing in real estate then.

When we bought our house we paid it off in 9 years. It was probably NOT a good idea, but interest rates were higher then. Instead of paying your loan off sooner, take that money and invest it. You should do better than 4.1%.

Hello everyone. I hope this is fairly simple. I am looking for a plumber, electrician, and handyman in the Trenton/Central NJ area. 

I would like to have someone that I trust to call when the need arises. If you have used anyone and can recommend them, please let me know.

Thanks.

She is insane. You MUST find some reason to reject her.

This might be something like that "wicker" color. A google search turned up this little house, which looks nice.
