As interest rates climb, how are Texas buyers adjusting their strategies to secure property?

You can always call up the title company beforehand to get an idea if they charge any sort of settlement, recording, doc prep, etc fees.As for the Seller side, the buyer chooses the title company 95% of the time, unless seller just recommends one.

As an example, if I negotiate a contract as a Buyer directly with an owner, they become the Seller in that contract.

This usually occurs if the buyer “qualifies” for the loan and an incentive - higher interest rates, transfer fees, etc. to the lender is provided.  3 - the parties entering into  a transaction, take steps to conduct business in a way that doesn’t “alert” the lender to the fact that the property ownership has transferred.  

Just completed my Florida 63hr real estate course and looking forward to a  brighter future as well as building a huge buyers base.

Too many in your shoes focus all of their time and energy on preparing for the liability event and fail to address the items in their day to day business that can actually prevent liability exposure.

The only reason you'll fail is if you let others define who you are.Thanks for sharing!

But your average buyer?

The last time we failed a section 8 inspection was approximately 30 properties ago and then passed our second inspection on that failed one with flying colors a few weeks later.

@Travis Hardy, I won't dig into the details of your analysis but I think I can give you some things to consider in a general sense.The typical buyer is NOT analytical.
