Re: They are asking $129,000 what should I offer

I can't either. We bought a new 2200 sq. ft. four bedroom, two bath with many upgrades, 1 acre of land, and the septic etc. in northwest Louisiana for about $139,000.00. I'd never buy a 31 year old MH and I would never again buy one in a a park. As a rule of thumb, offer 5% less than the asking pric...

Re: Credit scores and mortgage brokers

Thanks for the explanation Murray. I'll submit my information in a couple of days. I've also purchased the updated edition of Grissom's book. I've read the old edition

Credit scores and mortgage brokers
