I assume by "condo" you mean "rundown aparment"? Or one katrina destroyed?

http://www.caraudio.com a.k.a. homebuyer.com??? WTF???

you're lame. with an attitude like that, i would hope that every one of your 63 posts or whatever is car audio related. But because i just quoted you on something that had nothing to do with car audio, that makes you a hypocrite.

If they spent anywhere more than 30k on those....then someone in fema is VERY rich //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

You could probably buy the whole 9th ward for $45k //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/hilarious.gif.02a037aad04aa96f19982b298a3d70a8.gif

yea, everyone thinks the city went completely under but it didn't they have alot of homes that didn't get a drop of water, people are selling like crazy, you can't find a reasonable price everything is either expensive like all shiit or very very cheap... people just want to move out

I was looking to buy an el cheapo condo no more than $45k, I have $12k to put down, I just don't know the ins and outs of real estate. I'm really weary about making a decision like this with out knowing everything about it. If some one could take about 10 mins of their time and give me a quick run down and let me know what to look out for I'd be forever greatful, my email addy is decipha504@yahoo.com
-thanks

I didn't read the thread, but I am in the Real Estate business. Rule #1: Find a great agent. Interview a handful and go witht he one you feel best about and has experience. Rule #2: Get pre-qualified by a reliable lender that has a history of closing on time. Rule #3: If at any point you are unsure about contract info, seek the advice of an attorney. There are a few that will help out for free with the hope of you coming to them down the road or referring them clients. Even if you have to pay, it will be worth every penny.
