And people ask me why I won't consider marrying someone making less than six figures :wow:

My man needs to buy me one of these!

For those that want home automation I have wired my home lights and entertainment center to Amazon Alexa. Everything is now controlled with voice command in my house as if I have my own personal Jarvis. It trips people out that I no longer have to touch any light switches or tv/sound system/cable remotes

Put me on tho

I got my crib setup with home automation too. People legit give me the :ohhh: face when I hit a button and the lights turn off, TV turns on, and a Movie starts playing through the speakers in the wall :banderas:

copped a 3 unit(2300 sq ft) right off of mack and the boulevard...just got through gutting the whole place down to the studs ( i flew my nikkafrom miami up here it took us a month and a half but we did it lol) bout to put between 30-40k for the rehab...open up one of the upstairs units make it loftstyle...move in..rent out the other 2 units..cop another one..repeat until i got maybe 4 or 5 multi units.

values are going up too ...and you still have about 2-3 years to buy up some cribs before you gotta spend a check to even get in.

its people thats been underwater... getting appraisals now...and finding out they have equity

ride up and down streets you see people doing all kind of home improvements

houses getting demolished like crazy ...10k prolly by the end of this year..7k from september last year to may 2016..that fed money bout to come thru too

if you from detroit you see it, i been tellin yall boys yall aint listening though

hella people from all over moving in too. ...a couple years ago they tried to announce detroit bouncing back but people were buying houses, not paying taxes letting em foreclose and go right back to the city...people coming through now...they got plans..im moving here,... im opening up a business here,...all these nyc people coming here opening up restaurants n shyt..buying brick houses for 2-3k...you talk to em and find out aint no brick houses for that amount in the nyc, bostons, chicagos, etc..they realize detroit is actually an international city ....not just with black and white people we got types coming through

and i gotta plug with the Detroit Land Bank:takedat:...if you are
SERIOUS email me maybe we can put something together..ive looked out for some of my clients that i refinanced already..one guy goes to argentina gets money from investors and buys em for them..i put a couple dollars in my pocket we both eat..i cant be on here all the time like i used to but gimme some time imma be running my own shyt ...i can plug yall now... yall my coli people i fukks with yall but yall gotta move on it... dont let the media announce it to you... then you gone be scrambling tryna get in cuz in a couple years you gon have to be playin with some real paper..these people coming from nyc, la, miami not playin... they just not plugged like i am yet but they got the money to be...its comin i put dat on everything

I'm gonna have to check this thread out for research. Not ready to buy yet but been thinking about it. Got the credit score, just need to save some more and pay off my car so I won't have so much debt. About what percentage of monthly income should i be looking to spend on my mortgage? I don't make much now anyways but I don't need anything too fancy. Just a simple 2-2 condo or townhouse. About how far ahead should i start shopping around? I don't Kan on buying until 2017 anyways. Should I just wait until then to see if the market changes? Other than down payment and closing cost, are there any other fees or payments i gotta look out for? Don't want to use up all my money on those two sms be underwater on the other stuff.

Don't sleep on costs like home inspection, radon and mold testing...depending on size of house it could be around 800$ out of pocket, and of course this isn't a sure thing. You could go thru process, pay and then lose the contract and have to do it all over.
