buying vs renting: Buying Versus Renting – Buying Now Wins - 03/23/12 04:54 AM
     Buying versus renting is a debate for many and earlier on renting was a better bet when it came to determining monthly costs, care and cost of family and especially one’s credit score. However, now buying is winning in majority of the debates.

buying vs renting: Flipper Chicks Have a New Flip! - 01/05/12 06:36 AM
Hi All! In several weeks I’ll have a new Flipper Chick listing. I’m mentioning it now, before the house is ready, as I’ve had many requests to do so: This one is a cute 1920 vintage bungalow of 871 sq. ft. on a large lot w/big detached garage.  It’s 2 bedroom 1 bathroom and everything will be new!  This home is at 438 Bosley Street which is popular area with lovely neighborhoods & walking distance to downtown/Railroad Square.  Zoned “high density”, a second unit could be added on this lot.  The expected listing price is $209-219,000.
