You’ve crunched the mortgage calculators, estimated your tax payments, and taken a realistic look at how much house you can afford. You’ve stuck within your range when scouring the realtor.com® listings, being careful not to bust your budget.
But there are more expenses involved in home buying than just the property costs. And those additional payments, if you don’t factor them in, can be high enough to derail your conscientious planning.
Here’s what to keep in mind:
Buying Costs

I found some really interesting points in this article that talked about looking for properties that were on corner lots. Made some good arguments that I am going to take into consideration in my own investing. I hope this helps you as well.
How to Make a Corner Lot the Right Choice
May 13, 2014 By: Patricia-Anne Tom

When purchasing your dream home, a corner lot may be worth consideration, depending on your perspective. Some prospective buyers find corner lots attractive, while others would rather avoid the concerns that can converge at a street corner.
Consider these six questions to determine whether a corner lot is the right choice for you:

From the time he was young, he started buying old houses to rent. He had a good feel for what would be a good buy and what he should pay considering the future rents. By the time he was about 60, he had a total of over 50 houses in his stable. When he retired as a multimillionaire, he sold them and invested the proceeds in a half dozen U.S. post office buildings. These were triple-net leases, so he didn't have to do any maintenance or make monthly rent collections.

2. Agents - making offers on "A" properties that have all three of the following: been on the market for >90 days, vacant, and have a motivated clause in their description (Seller Motivated, willing to negotiate, needs TLC, etc)

I tried to post a review of Dean's program and got filtered. Apparently, there is a filter that targets certain URLs. I can't believe the extent of control. I was under the impression that we were all here to support one another in an open and honest way. But to actual red flag a url is scary to say the least. All I was trying to do is get the member's opinion of the review.
