I made 12 videos to launch Express Offers when it started at eXp and they had good intentions, but you have to understand that all of these programs and outside programs are based on the same model.

If you're interested in learning more about creative financing, you could check out the BP book "Wealth Without Cash" by Pace Morby.When getting started, I recommend narrowing your focus and choosing one specific investing strategy you want to pursue that makes the most sense for you right now.

It was enough of a difference that I might choose to refinance the loan.

I checked out a video overview of Pace's yesterday, and he said something similar about agreements.

Kory is saying that, if i choose the REPS route this year, I cannot use my 200K passing loses in 2024 to offset the capital gain of the 3 homes i sold this year.

The key occupancy requirement for FHA loans is at the time of the original purchase—usually requiring you to live in the home for at least a year.If you've met the initial FHA loan requirement of living in the property for 12 months (which you would have by November 2024), you're typically free to move out and house-hack again, even if you choose the FHA streamline option If your goal is to acquire another property in Q1 2025, refinancing via FHA streamline shouldn’t prevent that.

Contrast that with our $500 leasing fee which is only paid to us after we've done the marketing, video tour, showings, found tenants and actually rented the property. 

So if you have to go remote (because you live in one of those markets) spend some time in your target city, plan on being there often, video call the contractors every day.

For me, I'm going to choose where I want to live based on factors other than the real estate market. 

Which would you choose and why?
