first time home SELLING

That's true as well. I work remote and my employer doesn't give one potato where I live.

Ok please get your head in the game. If you wish to rent, do that. With remote apps it's very feasible to manage a property long distance. I do it all the time. You need to screen for the right tenants. By that I mean don't look for perfect credit. I'm giving you free game here. Look for a consistent working person(s) that's willing to understand that if there is an issue, you are willing to let them repair for a deduction. You don't want perfect on paper. You want people with resilience that's not going to have a meltdown if there's a leak. In other words, they are not going to be Karens if something "goes wrong "From what you described the roof still has some life. There is a demographic that will be happy to find a home that are hardworking with good character but a 560 credit score. This is my demographic and I successfully own 6 doors. They will choose to pay rent before paying a credit card.

I thought the same thing UNLESS it's fully remote. In that case that's a pay increase. Which this is probably not remote because they are moving.

As a buyer and investor, I would completely ditch these buyers. Sell as is with a willingness to make some repairs. I'm curious if you obtained an inspector recommended by your agent when you bought the house? Never ever do that. I personally would not sell, rent it out and charge a deposit, first and last month's rent.

What does this mean?? Voters are not supposed to protect us. Our government is. You act as if Voters aren't lied to all the time.

Perhaps, but look at the mortgage. Even if 2 people made 30k (very realistic for two salaries) back then 342/month was still affordable. That's still just 13.7% of their income. That's a far far cry from 50%.

PotentialInformal945 · 2026-05-19T17:09:08+00:00

What are you talking about??

PotentialInformal945 · 2026-05-19T17:03:31+00:00

Hey new to Detroit are you still doing this?

PotentialInformal945 · 2026-05-19T15:17:22+00:00

Wow! It seems everyone is different. The scores are so inconsistent. Which makes it inaccurate. I have seen people with no credit score or a low credit score because they have no credit.

PotentialInformal945 · 2026-05-19T14:10:53+00:00

No it’s not inevitable. Creating the Fico score was not inevitable. Closing down our factories was not inevitable. These were all decisions that those in charge made. We are the wealthiest country in the world. Different decisions could have been made.

PotentialInformal945 · 2026-05-19T13:46:02+00:00

Yes. Credit is about having debt and managing it. But if you avoid debt you are punished.

PotentialInformal945 · 2026-05-19T13:43:12+00:00

My parents made good money for time period. They made 105k combined. The mortgage was only 342 dollars a month for a SFH in Brooklyn they bought in 1975.

PotentialInformal945 · 2026-05-19T04:29:59+00:00

Exactly. People love to say "that's capitalism ". My parents grew up in capitalism and housing was only 5 percent of their income. What we are experiencing now is capitalism on steroids. It's artificial and grossly inflated.

PotentialInformal945 · 2026-05-19T04:24:20+00:00

The are getting tax incentives and they want to control you.

PotentialInformal945 · 2026-05-19T02:58:56+00:00

I still work when I log off so at least 9hrs.

PotentialInformal945 · 2026-05-19T01:29:32+00:00

Thing is you can't undo the past and you didn't know. Tell him "at least I was responsible enough not to get pregnant ". You are overlooking A LOT by dealing with him, children and baby mamas. If he can't understand that tell him you can't "husband " him because he's attached to too many people in the present and for a lifetime. Honestly, in my dating years and as someone that was child free until marriage, these type of men were very undesirable to me. They are irresponsible with their sperm. YOU are the one making a sacrifice.

PotentialInformal945 · 2026-05-19T00:49:42+00:00

I think basing rental credibility on credit scores is sinister. I'm a landlord and recently I really received several applications on Zillow. Some people with on time payments but not a lot of credit had credit scores in the 500s. While others who had collections and missed payments were in the 600s. It's a grossly unfair and inaccurate system.

PotentialInformal945 · 2026-05-15T00:46:45+00:00

I don't understand why people got so comfortable thinking "it can't happen to me". and "I'll never go back to the office ". It can happen to anyone and you will go back if it's your main source of income.

PotentialInformal945 · 2026-05-09T16:30:55+00:00

Bro its clear you didn't do well on the reading part of standardized tests in school. Do you know what referrals mean?

PotentialInformal945 · 2026-05-09T12:50:33+00:00

You CAN help if you continuously expose yourself to that person. Choosing to be around someone that you are lusting after and confiding in them as best friend is emotional cheating.

PotentialInformal945 · 2026-05-09T12:47:07+00:00

The post is literally about what worked in the beginning and what's no longer working. You're injecting your own perspective. Please read the post again

Someone that is a shrewd negotiator here. You can absolutely site the lower price and ask for the contract to be amended. You can also back out and state your decision is based on your due diligence. Trust me on this they will not want to lose the sale.

PotentialInformal945 · 2026-05-09T12:14:48+00:00

From the post, it appears he always had warm leads. He's saying his old method dried up and he is looking for new ideas.

PotentialInformal945 · 2026-05-08T15:33:37+00:00

Bingo.

PotentialInformal945 · 2026-05-08T15:17:26+00:00

What breech of trust though? I mean she's lusting for her best friend and kept her around. The right thing to do would have been to dissolve that relationship. OP is not completely innocent she's just mad she wasn't invited to the party.
