For their part the Federal Reserve is starting to think about maybe likely possibly coulda shoulda perhaps cut rates.

Just trying to figure out a way to cut out the middle man at times due to some wholesalers who add like 15k to 20k onto a deal which makes numbers tight 

Long responses are cut and paste or AI so I wouldn't count it toward your journey.If you ever think "this is too good to be true", it always is.

I do wonder if I leads to more inventory though, I have for instance another client that this 2.5% might be the difference in deciding to list or not, for sellers without a lot of equity that 2.5% can be the difference between writing and check or not, which in addition to some people not having the money to cut a check is also a huge psychological barrier, there are probably even some people on the margins who have in thier head they will only sell if they can net 100k in profit or some random number like that.

Depending on the area, there can be restrictions on cutting down trees. 

Smart move to de-stress and cut ties with the landlord drama.

I refi, pull out 75% of my equity, but now I'm paying a mortgage on the new appraised value which will UP my monthly payment and cut into my income/door amount.So for buy & hold, is BRRRR not feasible?

That doesn't cut it for me.

It’s possible I did a poor job of explaining this, this isn’t really a service for investors per se’ in fact I would probably in an ideal enjoy doing this more for primary home buyers, this to me is an alternative to the 2.5% commission model, you cut out the most time consuming and often in my opinion least valuable part of the job which is showing people around and opening cabinets and seeing if they are soft close or not lol (I presume in this new world there will be more open house, more showings by listing agents, possibly more services that allow buyers to show themselves houses like the Redfin does on some of its listing) because of that plus the guarantee of getting at least something for your time allows you to theoretically charge much less while still providing the important parts of the job, like you should consider this area, let’s go over this home inspection repost, here’s how we should craft an offer etc, even spending time explaining rent vs buy calculation and personal finance etc, plus the being able to be paid regardless of your advice, I’ve had countless clients who has just a myriad of bad ideas I’ve talked out of, but of course you don’t get paid for that in this commission structure.

Can you get a roommate now, cut spending, get a second job?
