Another option that was presented to me today is to seek out local banks that can provide long-term fixed financing that rivals FHA, but without the FHA rules.

One company I work with is dropping its option fees way down... to 1 month's rent... because the goal is to eventually sell the property (tenant executes the L/O) vs. generate bitter customers at the gain of a little extra revenue.

I am assuming your goal is to actually sell the property (tenant executes the L/O) vs. generate bitter customers at the gain of a little extra revenue.

JS you're right I am bitter and angry.

In honor of the 44th President of the United States, Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream has introduced a new flavor: †Barocky Road .â€Barocky Road is a blend of half vanilla, half chocolate, and surrounded by nuts and flakes.The vanilla portion of the mix is not openly advertised and usually denied as an ingredient.The nuts and flakes are all very bitter and hard to swallow.The cost is $100 per scoop.When purchased it will be presented to you in a large beautiful cone, but after you pay for it, the ice cream is taken away and then given to the person in line behind you at no charge.You are left with an empty wallet and no change, holding an empty cone with no hope of getting any ice cream.

I know it's clear that I am bitter, but I don't work in this business.

The policy makers would probably rival or exceed the criminal minds in any prison....well, I guess exceed, since they aren't there.

East Cleveland is what rivals Detroit.

However if you gave them a property that was leaning to the side when you bought it as-is for $17k, best believe your monthly repair bill will rival a small mortgage payment.

If, however, he gets voted in for that last term, then History can judge his real accomplishments (or lack thereof) on WHO he is, and WHAT he does and has done, and NOT on the color or his skin.I love my country, I've served my country, and I work for my country's best interests, but I stand in mute and bitter witness to the sad decline of what Ronald Reagan saw as "a shining city on a hill for all mankind to see."
