They expect to sell it this year for $125,000. They showed a picture of the floor plan. It might be good for a loner, but not if she drops a kid! <BR/><BR/>I couldn't help but think of what they are paying a month. IF they got a _fixed rate_ the payment for the mortgage alone would be $670/month or so but once you add the insurance and taxes, it'll be like $1,000/month not including the dreaded association fee. <BR/><BR/>BUT if they got any one of the explosive mortgages, wait until it blows up in their faces! And when nobody wants to buy. <BR/><BR/>For what these idiots want, they could get a bigger condo in a different neighborhood that I routinely drive by every day after haggling down from $147,000 to the $125,000 they want. <BR/><BR/>Kids and college is like horses and water: You can send a kid to college but you can't make him learn.
