Charles Strauss answered:
I would do two things: first speak to a Realtor and have them do a CMA to see if what the investor is offering is a fair amount, and their opinion on how fast, and at what price, your home might sell in this market. Second, have your attorney look over the documents.

Charles Strauss answered:
I receive a weekly list, and can send it to you if you want. I agree, there really is no reason NOT to use an agent to help purchase a home; you will not save money, and will not have a professional looking out for your best interests.

Charles Strauss answered:
Very possible, depends on where you want to live, proximity to work, what type of home you are interested in (single family, condo, townhouse, etc.). Cherry Creek Schools have several options, again, dependent on what you are looking for. You can use my site to search homes, or feel free to give me (or any other Realtor here) a call, and we can assist in your search. As a Denver native, all I can say is welcome, I'm sure you will love it here.

Chris, Home Buyer in 80212

Home buying question

Asked Wed Jul 16 2008, 15:01 by Chris  -  80212  -  Home Buying  -  9 answers
Charles Strauss answered:
Big decision, and the biggest investment that most folks make in their lifetime. Particularly, when it comes to your first home purchase, I really believe that there are two numbers to consider: the amount (mortgage) you can qualify for, and (way more important) what you are comfortable with. While many times, these are the same, many times they aren't. Income to debt ratio (all debt) is another number to look at, and your mortgage broker should be able to give you enough information to make an intelligent decision both on what you can qualify for, and what mortgage payment you will feel comfortable paying. Then, you can utilize the skill of your Realtor to find a great home in that range.
Hope this helps.

I have always advised my clients to take two things into consideration: what you can qualify for and what you are comfortable with. If you can qualify for a mortgage payment, but would only be comfortable with say 75% of that payment, go with the second. This is a huge investment, and I feel it is really important to feel comfortable with the decisions you make. Hope this helps.
