Not disputing your experience and I'm sure your agent is great.However, the Goosehead model is designed for the local agent to sell and the corporation to service.

Probably to protect their trust of their customers, and hope that we keep coming back, year after year.So today, I went back to my old business model:  A fair price for my properties. 

Stocked kitchen, wifi, Hot tub, etc?

I've done the "Gator" method many years ago not thinking it'd be shilled as a scalable business model.

With a 3-5% down FHA loan, I snagged a cozy home in a hot spot, worked from home to play handyman, and created a hedge against the "what-ifs" of life.

Greatly increased lending capital by transitioning from a ‘blind pool” fund to a series LLC / syndication model where investors know the property lending deal before committing to any loan and can “pick and choose” whichever loans they do or do not want to participate in.  

Plus each house sitting empty for t months seems wasteful.)But it’s hard to find a warm but not hot and humid location.

We have talked about things such as rent by the room and acknowledge that the operating model will likely be very different while living in the property vs. when we move out.I think the point you made about assumable loans is very helpful to get into a property you might not otherwise be able to afford.

Indianapolis for example has been a Hot market for the last 3-4 years since COVID blew up home prices back in 2019. 

@Polat Caglayan.Detroit is HOT right now for sure.
