It's obviously a lot more complicated to compare the different business models, making the blanket statement "Us commishes are 3x higher" extremely flawed logic.

Hi @Michelle SimoniI would use the Lenders tab on BiggerPockets and reach out to a few different lenders to compare.

Columbus is going to be a market with more expansive growth compared to Cleveland, which is currently pretty steady with higher cash flow but less appreciation. 

As I've compared the two, I feel that the Fannie Mae Homestyle product is an easier process.

They should be given 2 to 3 years to do something like that given its harder to retrofit those in and its also much more costly to put in compared to new construction.Again, they've been going for 30 or 40 years with nothing and now expect everyone to just jump. 

They push so much information & it is more than needed & priced high compared to other options.

Highlight nearby conveniences and any neighborhood growth to attract interest.Focus on framing the size as a bonus that buyers get more space and value for their money compared to smaller homes.

For example, South Cape has larger tourist destinations such as Cape Harbour, the downtown area, Yacht Club, Marina Village, etc, where there's really nothing comparable to any of those districts in the Burnt Store area.

Vrbo has free price automation and analytical tools to compare the competition and see trends.

However, it's important to keep in mind that shorter seasoning periods often come with different terms compared to a a cash out refi with 6 months + of seasoning.
