[Burner02]

[butterfly]

[Burner02]

[Burner02]

Hope y'all are feeling better!

 

[butterfly]

Thanks Burner! We are much better now

 

[Burner02]

glad to hear it!
I get rid of these danged snigffles!
Grr!
How are things back at work?

 

[butterfly]

Work is ok. Flags are still at half mast. A lot of people have been pulled from their regular jobs to assist with the investigation leaving the others to pick up the slack... everyone is VERY busy.

Even we are busier. Since we aren't flying any shuttle missions during the investigation we have to EXPORT our stuff to Russia for them to take up to the ISS. Now everyone is running around trying to get a comprehensive list together so we can classify each item... bad news is that some of the things will need a license from the State Dept and that always takes a long time.

So... how's your world?

 

[Burner02]

busy!
I have a final on my second book tonight! It's Colorado Contracts.
Not too bad. I am abotu to tear into it.
Just a couple hundred pages..of 'light reading'...


Hopefully, things will start to go back to normal eventually.

I'm still fired up about all those moroic protesters that were all over the 'Springs this past Saturday as well as all over the world.
I do not understand them at all. WTF???

 

[Burner02]

oh, I have an appopintemtn tomorrow morning to get my VA mortgage streamlined. Hopefully, that will be able to drop my payment by 100 bucks...maybe?
Anything will help!

 

[butterfly]

Good luck with the test and the mortgage!!!

Are you studying law?

 

[Burner02]

real estate

 

[butterfly]

Oh yeah!

I was thinking that when we sell our house we'll have all that equity money just sittin in a CD for a year or so... so... we were thinking about buying a fix-er-up-er, fixin it, and then selling it for the profit.

There are hundreds of houses in Galveston that need rennovation. My parents have actually done this with great success!

 

[Stacey]

Butterfly Thats a wonderful Idea!!! Lots of people have had great success doing that!!!!

 

[Burner02]

we were discussing doing tax sales for profit.
At least here in Co, if a house goes to auction for tax liens, the owner has three years to pay off taxes with the penalties and such. If you were to bid and win the taxes (you pay the tax liens) say, 10k on a 100k house was our example, you wold get the interest that the owner pays to pay off the liens and get back on track. The bad thing is that after 3 years you mght inhereit the house. Of course, you only paid 10 k for an 100k house. There are more problems that could arrise, but....when I start turning profit...I am thinking of giving this a try. Instructor said that most times, the owners will pay off leins and you make a tidy little bundle.

 

[butterfly]

That's one way to go.

Another would be to find homes that have been foreclosed on.

 

[butterfly]

Some plus' for these houses in Galveston...

-the houses are cheap... anywhere from $15,000 - $60,000
-current mortgage rates make monthly payments on these amounts minimal
-my parents already have an agent I can use that knows my goal

I'm excited! Now to find an agent that won't charge me the full 3% to sell my home!

 

[Burner02]

3% that's per agent....it's usually 6 - 7 %....

 

[Stacey]

But In Texas its 3%

 

[Burner02]

hoky crap...how do they make any money????

 

[butterfly]

No, it's 3% per agent so 6% total.

 

[Burner02]

unless...i could get both ends of the deal....yeah,baby..YEAH!
Butt...seeings as y'all are friends...I'd charge you less! 5 3/4 %...

spare no expense for freinds!

 

[butterfly]

Some deal my agent only charges 4.5% which is only 1.5% for them!

Besides, your license will only be good in CO.

 

[butterfly]

How about this idea...

My agent told me of some homes zoned to the same high school (so Cory won't have to change schools), nice neighborhood, but real cheap, comparitively. We could buy one of these and stay in it as a transitional home rather than throwing away $$ on an apt.

Then when we get ready to move again we can just rent out the smaller home for extra income.

What do ya think?

 

[Stacey]

I think Thats a great idea!~!!!

Thats KINDA What Matt and I are doing now.. we are buying a home we can afford, and Be able to save a lot for our land/ and home we WANT to build, then in 5-10 years, we are selling this one, and will make a lot on it!! $$

 

[Burner02]

go B!
