Looking for 1% deals will be cutting things close. 

See, the older I get (don't ask), the more annoyed I get with the endless "I WILL SHOW YOU HOW TO CUT YOUR TAXES in DECEMBER" emails, posts, webinars, podcasts, TikToks, YouTubes and whatnot.

OTRCH operates a couple of what I call "wet rehab" centers meaning congregate housing for persons otherwise homeless and there are several other agencies like "First Step House" etc. that might be interested in a presence in this block.Or you could cut your losses and put it back on the market under the "greater fool theory."  

If the agent is not working out for whatever reason, cut the tie and move on. 

I want to keep away from any short cuts , I am not looking to take large cuts from sellers (I’m a true agent at heart and looking to serve my clients) .

Since you have high incomes and can cut your spending quickly if necessary you should be ok with some cash in a HYSA and some short term credit available.

Blue Gate Capital strung me along until very close to closing and almost cost me the deal.

Good luck getting that info from the guys who don’t speak English who cut down your trees for $1200. lol Not many people follow rules on anything, so?

How about opportunity cost?

As when people lose their jobs, the vacations they take is the first choice to cut back on.
