What the average consumer is completely oblivious to is that after 2 yrs of homesteading a property, they generally don't have to pay capital gains tax on their net at closing in home appreciation, from what they bought the property for and what they sell it for in FL.

My 2 cents is to just find a skip tracing service, and a source to get lists from(taxes owed, code violations, out of state owners etc) this is much more effective and less time consuming.

I invested a lot of money and I was so consumed with tenants, contractors, lawyers, agents, etc. that I never factored in my daily wellbeing.

Go to the NMLS consumer portal and look his name up and see what you find.

Chasing references can be time consuming, so if the credit history does not meet muster, we save ourselves time.

The real estate license process is a bit more lengthy and time consuming these days.

The learning curve is much shorter than going vertical and much less time consuming.

If it is not something a consumer can do online that can usually help the business with a storefront.

I lived below my means and had no consumer debt again after we paid it off.

I can believe that there aren’t websites connecting buyers and sellers for a flat 1-2% yet.I don’t see a downside to the consumer to more competition.
