You can earn honorable discounts and fees overtime by establishing mutually beneficial partnerships with one lender or broker but squeezing them dry for a lot of hard work and not equal pay isn't something I recommend making a strategy

I can be lazy and earn $40k or crush it and go for $4MM.

My goal is simple: once we secure a deal, I buy directly from the seller with cash, and you earn a fee.Are these kinds of arrangements common?

In your case though, I've heard of people in Denver proper with duplexes who parter with LTR tenants (you could put them in the basement) who will co-host with you and be able to get a STR permit since it's their primary residence and you can work out a profit split for the STR or some kind of reduced rent for your LTR in exchange for helping you and you being able to keep the STR runningJust a creative idea I wanted to toss out as a potential plan B or plan C!

If you sell the house, your repair and improvement costs will be added to the cost basis, reducing your taxable profit.

This approach can help keep your taxable income lower, thereby reducing your PSLF payment amount, which is calculated as 10% of your taxable income.

Either people need to start earning more money (we can debate this since it looks like we are already in a recession here), interest rates need to decline (looks like the Fed is about to start doing this) or prices need to decline which has already started to happen.My vote is on lower interest rates and price declines until the market finds its balance and you see transactions start to increase.

Automating rent collection is another smart move, it reduces headaches and ensures timely payments.For future growth, having access to financing options will be crucial.

Buy a SF rental, add some value (minor rehab), and refinance as the FED reduces rates in 2025-2026.

Turned out their earnings are so large that they hit limits on what they can deduct on their tax returns.
