Miss seeing you Elv!s. :) You are still the King. I think that your advice is well reasoned and as solid as ever in this case.

Honestly what a chew toy. Make me move is one thing. This is pure arrogance on the owner's part. Rub a lamp seller man, rub a lamp...

Thank God for the FDIC or else they might go under.

OMG what a stupid bank.

OMG. That seems so unfair. I know ignorance of the law is no defense, but sometimes I wish the IRS took intent into the equation. Hard to prove I know, but the tax code is mind numbing.

Yeah the records are public, but in my town you've gotta wait in line at the recorders office just to check out the microfische. ZIllow is much easier and faster than that.

No way Blackhole. http://homesvalues.us/Hom ... alues.htm just wants you to get a wad of phone calls from a realtor with a sales pitch and CMA in hand. I'd rather use www.nexttag.com for values instead of deal with a realtor calling me at home wanting to make an appointment.You are right about one thing, Zillow has way more information for free than nextag though. It is free too so I'll take info from both.

Not so funny really. More of a Fort Lauderdale sales pitch to buy now. FL is still in the dumps so buying now for anybody who will sell in less than 10 years may be a huge mistake.

Owner financing id the only way to go especially if your mother's a contractor. Find a wreck of a house and make the owner an offer is they will carry the contract for 5 years at 6% until your credit is better in exchange for your your 5-10K down. A bank won't touch you so trying to find an owner to carry is the way to go.

Forget about it. Zillow may correct your house facts, but your estimate number won't get changed from what I have seen.
