Looking for 1% deals will be cutting things close. 

That doesn't cut it for me.

I've wondered that myself and thought: If an investor was looking for birddogs why would the birddog have to pay the investor money before they began securing leads for the investor, that the investor would then in turn give the birddog an investor's cut on the profit end???

So my question:  do you have a buyer - or someone wasting your time?

Stop hanging out with your deadbeat buddies who spend all day drinking, talking sports, and otherwise wasting away.

"You’re Taking a Cut as a Middleman, Making It Worse?"

Back in the world of 3% rates, you could get a HELOC instead of the primary mortgage and lower your daily balance and cut down the life of the loan significantly.  

House hacking could possibly at least cut that painful expense so not saying you shouldn't do but really watch your numbers.

Stop hanging out with your deadbeat buddies who spend all day drinking, talking sports, and otherwise wasting away.

No one wants to waste their time.
