After getting my offer was accepted the waiting game began.

I would maybe wait and save up as much cash I can then start when I am eligible.

Or do I just wait for it to go to foreclosure before attempting to buy it?

I put in an offer where it would work for my budget and waited it out over a few weeks of being in touch with the realtor and letting him know my interest at my price.

I’m in a great spot financially and can’t wait to explore my options and dive in.

There are lots of lenders out there that specialize in different things and have different workarounds. by working with the same broker, they'll understand where your priorities lay and since they have a better understanding of your experience, they can push for exceptions that wouldn't normally be approved.I myself am a broker so I may be a bit biased here, but if you do feel that your current broker isn't very good or that they are overcharging you then you can certainly explore other options.

It would not have deterred me from booking, but I did not like the fact that I may have had to wait 24 hrs for a confirmation.

The real professionals will lay everything out up front, likely letting you read a copy of their agreement to understand additional services and benefits in detail, and aren't going to be pushy about getting you to sign anything if they feel it's a bad fit or something doesn't align.At the end of the day, a good PM will have your best interests in mind.

So I'm looking to scale up with an eager staff waiting!

We are excited to be in the Lowcountry and can't wait to experience nice weather year around.I have recently retired from my previous job and am thinking about getting into Real Estate full time.
