Take a good look at potential purchase opportunities and run the numbers, then decide about buying, then financing.

The buyer decides where they want professional help, and what steps they want to do themselves.Have you found anyone offering flat fee buyer brokerage/agency in your area?

You get whatever NEW interest rate they decide on.

For the LTR, we used(took off market yesterday while trying to decide on the said topic) market it at $2050 with concession of $1000 with all utilities paid for by the tenant.
