The state wants to buy my house?
The state wants to buy my house, but I don't want to move. Do I have to sell it to them? I also think I could get more for my house than what the state is offering me. Do I use a real estate agent to negotiate for me? Or do I get a lawyer? It doesn't seem right that they can just take my house and lowball me.

Can you purchase land with a credit card?
We found a plot of land that we like. We can cover most of the cost, but have about $20K that we need to finance. Instead of going through the bank and a mortgage, we're thinking of simply putting it on a credit card that we'll try to aggressively pay off. There's options for low interest cards for the first year, and that may benefit us. Is this even possible though?
