If they are going to lie about something like this that has no financial consequence for them they are going to lie about other things. 

Instead of cashing out your IRA with the consequences of penalties and taxes, keep your money in your IRA and use it to invest.

There are a number of horrible agents I know (some with questionable ethics) that have cultivated Zillow reviews and can show 50 five start reviews, while some really good agents don't look well on Zillow at all, simply because they don't pay for Zillow and consequently do not cultivate the plattform.

You want an accountant who can help you strategize and who is responsive when you want to know the consequences of the financial decisions you are making throughout the year.Good luck.

Mortgage rates are driven by the capital market and basically follow the bond market, specifically 10 year US treasury with a premium, historically about 1,7%.Yesterday the 10yT fell to 3.9% and I have seen 5.99% 30y fixed rates with a local bank in here Milwaukee (that is still an inflated 2% premium), so 5.7% would be historically normal based on a 1.7% premium, even without the 10YT going any lower.Here is why.If the 10yT offers lower returns, more investors want to buy mortgage-backed securities instead to get higher returns (about 1.7% higher), as a consequence lowering the returns on those as well.

I have only used a couple of examples, ther may be many other ways to structure this with different tax consequences. 

There are consequences for our government decisions and a lot of current policy and national sentiment continues to be inflationary (tighter immigration, high tariffs, wars, nationalism/isolationism, child tax credits, student loan forbearance, high government spending/deficits). 

Consequently, I find myself in a predicament where I cannot recover the funds already spent to proceed with the project.

Consequently, I am looking into townhomes as an alternative.
