This is great info and I greatly appreciate your value you provide.

Most of the time brokers who want to represent themselves do so because they want to save money, bottom line.

Each town is a little different, some require you to do a landlord registration and/or will want to do an inspection before you put a tenant in (calling the town would probably be the easiest, or they may have the info right online).

You get to make offers on your own and potentially save on buyer's commission.I wouldn't recommend if you already have an active income that is serving you well because it would be better to invest time in that endeavor if that's the case.

You probably had a little tickle in your moral compass which gave you pause, which is why you reached out.My wife is an accountant, when we look for every possible tax break it doesn't feel like theft, we feel accomplished to find a place for more savings and lose zero sleep over it.

Got it .. thank you for the info.   

Would you mind sending your inspector's info to me as well?

If rates do go down significantly, it will be more of a sign of economic instability.I recommend continuing to save monies until you come up with enough for a decent down payment.

or waiting and saving.

Thanks again, and will be grateful for any more info you offer.
