Fonzie Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Buying is always a better move then renting' date=' now you can start earning equity......[/quote']What's this E.Q.U.I.T.Y you speak of white man?!? Those days are loonng gone right now. That's old economy thinkin'. Welcome to the new millenium.....or as I like to call it, even though we can't fully see it yet....GDII....the Great Depression II. I think she said she paid $11 grand LESS for it than what the previous owners had bought it for We've been in our house for almost a decade, and need to upsize badly, but I'm guessin' we'll be lucky to make anything on it with the way things are goin' now. Definitley a GREAT time though for first time buyers who don't have to worry about sellin' their current home for down payment, get steals on prices, and looowwww interest rates! It's a triple score Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a triple scoreThat's exactly my position, Fonz. I have a small down payment, no house that I need to sell, and am getting what I think is a pretty awesome rate on the mortgage. It sucks for the sellers and they kept saying in their counter offer 'Please note that we are losing 11k on this transaction' Umm, I'm sorry but maybe you shouldn't be upgrading to a bigger house in Lewis Center during a down housing market.....Oh and yes, Chris, the inspector looked at the water heater but I don't think he looked inside it. I'll have to get someone to do the maintenance on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
