Buying house from private owner, down payment + 60 mos payments????

Just so it's on this page too.......

 

Debts, assets? Which is which is more of a philosophical choice than something set in stone. If you went to the Enron school of accounting.

 

I am at a stopping point in my chores. Honor dollar bet where the OP indicated $77K. He didn't. You all have a pre-existing side beef and perhaps that is what is precluding you from reading what is there, instead of interpreting what is not there.

 

The OP lost a bet with another beeber. The OP lost the bet and it was determined that he never paid the money towards the airfence fund.

 

So it is clearly not about the money. Do you intend to take random sideswipes about it in perpetuity or get it worked out? And what is your stake in it? What does the other Beeber think? My chores can wait.

 

Sheesh... this crap wasn't all that entertaining when it happened. You're beating on the dead great grandchildren of the original dead horse.

For anyone else who wasn't around for that:
gapman has lots of cash and toys
he won't need to finance that "big" $25K balloon, he has more than that into a SXS
this thread is nothing more than a classic humble brag
if I'm wrong gapman, and you really wanted advice...TAKE THE DEAL

 

You can understand some screen names on the beeb stand out for various reasons. Some have gone full retard only to return months later like nothing happened. The OP has said he has $77 in debt. There is another thread that the OP started where he just simply ignored the debt. The point is when you create an internet presence. It’s here for life. That’s what I will try to teach my kids.
You can hide from the presence. The OP never acknowledged the debt. There used to be a saying that a beeber “was a stand up guy.”
It doesn’t appear to be the case here.
If I recall, correct me if I’m wrong, the OP has participated in some beautiful concrete work.

 

Wasn't he the guy with the harem of six women but sprung on some other chick that was playing him? I feel like that played into it as well.

 

I vaguely recall that scenario but not sure if it was the OP.

I started a post about cement patios. The OP posted pictures of some beautiful work. I’m definitely not hating but I’m a person that I do what I say on this forum or in person. I don’t create some false impression because I’m on this forum. Your true character will shine through.

 

And I though my Wife held onto things for years only to throw them back in my face.......

 

I don't know the backstory, but if all is as you
say, why be oblique? Why don't you just call
him out for x,y,z reason and recommend he get lost and that no other Beeber waste their time on him because he's not a stand up dude who corners low and here's the proof?

 

Waive and smile.

 

The beeb has its own eloquent way of dealing with individuals who are less than stand up.

I came to the beeb for parts. I’m now here for entertainment purposes and on many occasions to learn things.

 

Lol, OK.

 

Thanks for the solid tips/advice concerning the thread. If i dont go through with this house, then ill stick to plan A which is buying/building a home.

Figured with this hiuse, i could own a home that would be worth $150k or more in 5 yrs. i was looking at it as a money making /investment venture more than anything.

 

thanks tristan....no humble brag. Somebody thought i left a ‘k’ off of my $77 debt.. i simply clarifird thst. And somebody thought i would need a loan for the $25k so i should consider that payment too...so i clarified that.

i drive a 18 yr old truck worth $3000 and a 16 yr old beater honda worth $1000 for work.

My newest bike is 5 yrs old and oldest is 14 yrs old, so theyre all paid off.

I dont drink. Dont go out. Dont do shit other than work. I tefill water bottles from home and take to work. I buy walmart great value black forest ham too. seriously, i do.

back on topic, my biggest concern is being locked in to this house and my dream house shows up on the market and not be able to buy it. Idk if thats a real concern or not. Ill know more once i talk to nick

thanks again

 

This seems like oddly serendipitous advice.

 

Inside joke. The recipient got it.

 

Waiting for your dream house to jump up and slap you will make you a life-long renter. Opportunity is knocking right now. Don't slam the door in its face.
