There are no negotiations involved - I've been dreaming of this place for 2 years now. Seems to be a low asking price.

It's literally impossible for me to borrow money, but I'm determined...I want this place, regardless of the cost.


Income:

W-2: $38,500
Annual stock market income: $150 (Bitcoin)
Rental property income: -$700/month (My landlord is an old lady)

Expenses:

Monthly payments on the '89 Honda: $215. Paid in full by 2027.

Furniture from rent-to-own store is paid for. PS5 almost paid for. Only debt is to my uncle for the $75 I borrowed for Christmas in 2013.

If I throw down, say, the remaining $14 on a Caseys gift card, could I get a bank to carry the remaining cost (assuming 450 credit, etc.)?

The property does not generate any income - it's basically an underpriced luxary residence.

I know this sounds dumb - I haven't been allowed to borrowed money from a bank in >20 years (something about minor felony convictions for robbery.) TIA for any guidance.
