@Dillon Clark-don't pay extra down on your mortgage-don't use a HELOC-save up as much as you can-hope this helps

Just give me the details.

@Steve Wortman Would something like this be of interest to you: https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/15326-W-Bi...?

Does anyone know of any real estate brokers in California that offers the MLS-only membership as I don't want to pay all the extra fees to be a part of CAR/NAR.

A key part of our team is our talented interior designer, who helps us add that extra flair to every property we touch.We’re eager to connect with local investors, agents, lenders, contractors, and anyone else who shares our passion for real estate.

That's another "tiny detail" everyone keeps ignoring.

However, if you’re running an investment group in another market, we’re open to licensing it or finding a way to make it work for both parties.If this sounds useful, DM me or comment below, and I’d be happy to share more details!

The mechanics of the transaction were actually very involved and some of the most intricate and detailed of any transaction I've been a part of, however the results were worth the effort.

Happy to provide more details.

On our first house we have a standard key and have an extra key onsite in a lockbox in case for any maintenance and lockouts.
