The Money
I have never in my life regretted spending anything on anything as I do right now. I did a cost comparison of my top five properties and it’s like trying to fit into a pair of jeans that are two sizes too small. Other than two properties, it just will not fit into an incredibly strained budget. How do people live?! My friend pays rent that’s $150 more than the most expensive place on my list. She works where I do and cannot possibly make much more. How is this possible? What am I doing wrong? Oh, yeah, it’s that 15% deduction I’m taking for retirement. Don’t get me started on that.
I’ve decided the only way to make it work well is paying 20% down and making the seller pay the closing costs. How do I pay 20% down. I need another $6000 for a closing price that I feel is somewhat reasonable. $10,000 would make me feel better. Obviously, there is no way on earth I’ll be able to raise/ save that money in a month legally. I’ll continue with the financial yoga.
