@Jaron Walling Hi, i have been working at my families local restaurant since i was a kid. it pretty much doesnt operate smoothly without us being there but it is getting tiring and my parents who have been working these hours much longer than i (they are immigrants from albania hence why i also bust my ***) dont want to continue doing this forever. i also do some FB market flips and have an online store. i just hustle to do whats needed. i have low expenses so this has allowed me to save alot for investments.

As elections get closer we will likely see consumer confidence start to become more uncertain due to the political climate and then resume again after elections are finalized.ibuyers and hedge funds are also ramping up acquisitions which is further pushing demand and lack of affordability.If/when the Feds do lower rates we will see a temporary improvement in affordability, however we do expect that small window to close quickly as lower rates will bring a lot of pent up demand back into the market which will push home values higher and cause affordability to worsen.With all factors considered here in the local Las Vegas and Henderson market we are encouraging buyers to buy sooner rather than later while they can get lower prices and seller concessions and then if needed refi later when rates come down and they have more equity.

I am not local so I can't meet them in person

Aside from your local or state laws I would imagine 30 or 60 days notice is sufficient.
