Also I don’t have a choice it’s real estate or nothing, financial freedom is getting achieved no matter what, I’m living the lifestyle I want and I need to retire my mom she’s 52 years old and has $2K in her retirement account.

Here’s what I’m planning to include in my buyer’s agreements for transparency:"As your buyer’s agent, my commission rate is set at 2.5% of the final purchase price.

That would be my choice if I exited out of Indiana.I'm not a huge fan of paying cash for properties since you're tying up a large amount on one property.

After years of educating myself on real estate, I'm eager to finally jump in and do a small deal out of state.

Meanwhile, you could be locked-in to a purchase price that is 5-10% below comparable sales by the time this finally closes (Q2-Q3 2025).All the best!

With builders offering in-house financing as low as 5.5% for investors/second home owners, and warranties on roofs and HVAC systems, I continue to support new construction as a solid choice for LTR buyers.

An update...It took some real patience, but finally received and signed an amicable contract for the featured agent program. 

U think @Russell Brazil or @Steve K. are not going to be there at the final walk through to make sure their clients are protected ????

Finally, focus on high-demand neighborhoods and have a backup plan, like renting if the flip doesn't sell immediately.Let me know if you need financing guidance or further tips.Best,Drago

When starting out if real estate, you pretty much have no choice but to either join a team or join a large brokerage that offers hands on training.
