    I thought the point of TGR was to post slightly anonymous details about your life to allow others to berate and question you for them, all from the comfort of the dentists office?

    Are you saying I should start my own thread?

    When you own in one of the hottest RE markets in America, of course that makes you an expert. There were millions of people like that in Florida and Nevada in 2006.

    Uh, dude, I did no such thing. I didn't pay PMI, I did an 80/15 and put 5% down, precisely to avoid PMI. But I recognized that whether I paid PMI or paid the poorer terms of the 15% loan, I was paying extra for putting only 5% down; that if you choose to only put 5% down you won't get the same loan terms as a 20% down loan. How you structure that choice is up to you. All I did was question him, because his initial posts came across like everyone else was foolish, that all one needed to avoid paying extra was to shop around a bit. So I asked him what he did to avoid PMI while putting down 5%, and then it was like pulling teeth (see what I did there?) to get him to acknowledge that yes, his loan had a higher interest rate than it would have had he put 20% down. So just like everyone else, he paid a premium by not putting 20% down. And sure, maybe some uber wealthy people have different loan options available (not being one I wouldn't know), but for the average person, this is the reality.

    Never said that one must put 20% down. Never said that he should have paid PMI, or that anyone should. But whatever, this is TGR, facts don't matter, so knock yourself out.

    I was just down in south Florida for my sister's wedding. You would never know there was a real estate crash there 10 years ago. Amazing.

    Never a better time to buy, if you don't buy now... you won't ever get this opportunity to buy this property again.

    Why pay points today to buy down the rate when there is a good chance of a recession in the next few years which will drive rates lower? Do a low to 0 cost loan today and refinance when rates are lower.

    I've been waiting for that recession. When the fuck will Trump and /or greedy corporations tank it?

    Funny thing is the poor keep getting more poor but that doesn't seem to create recession. Just when rich fucks lose does it happen.

    war...... I like how we want to kill iran now, whatever it's all talk to keep attention away from what's really going on
    never really thought about the bankruptcy thing, that's pretty serious, could see any of the companies you mentioned filing, they stiff all their creditors suppliers and what not, reorganizing and keep on keeping on with a black eye of sorts

    credit is so easy to get these days, I played alittle game this last month and increased and gathered up as much credit as I could for my business, why not they were handing it out like lolipops, just had to have a massive amount of cash in the bank, to pretend I was rich, then applied for all kinds of credit, so now I'm considering maxing out all the credit I can, pissing it away, claiming bankruptcy, leave everyone else screwed and riding off into the sunset in my 100k sprinter van without a worry in the world, gotta love america

    FIFY and make sure you take the cash out for your sprinter van as a “fee” early on. Otherwise you’ll be worried about the repo man. And don’t ever commingle your personal and business expenses.

    I prolly wasn't clear cash for the sprinter, for sure, register it in my parents name like I did with my house
    commingling personal and business is the only way to go, makes the irs audit harder to do
    writing off grocries as meals and entertainment
    I'm a c or s or something incorporated, don't have a clue, I just know I get a paycheck twice a month, don't ever take tax or money advice from me

    This is my building and tons of vacancies at the street level. Polo (clothing) flagship store closed about a year ago and has sat vacant ever since.

    I just looked up a 30 year fixed, saw rates were 4%. While they can go lower, that's still pretty damn low.
