I've had a similar conversation with another GC a few years back

Make it all about them and nothing about you, unless they turn the conversation that direction.

I was wondering what are some ways or suggestions that we can give to these newer potential buyers to help them have successful conversations with agents or advise that can be given before they call a broker.- One thing I was thinking was to not tell the broker you just want a "good deal"? 

Things that affect this; car payments, credit card payments (which is why you keep them low, so you can pay them off before applying for a home loan), store-financed anything, etc.All that being said, sometimes the best option is to save as much as you can now while you are building these other areas.

I know you connected with @Kiera Underwood so feel free to reach out to either of us if you start the lending conversation and don't understand something.

Any architects recommended that has experience with those kind of conversions?

Towns like Selma, Converse, and Universal City have both small multifamily and single family deals that have been appreciating well, but still are priced to cash flow.

Missed in on the conversation was on the road.

If/when I move into the market in MN, I will work with him based off the conversations I have had.
