To be honest, I'm not sure how this will shake out for most single family guys like me.

Come to local meetups and shake hands and kiss some babies.

I shake my head in disbelief because I only budgeted $300 for permits.

I'd definitely shake the wholesaler down, let them know to tap out on it.

Then go take some time off work, visit those cities, go to a happy hour and shake some hands.

I think we have to wait and see how this shakes out, but I don't think sellers are very wise to cut buyer agency fee.

Thanks Jeremy.I'm going to leave my w-2 job and focus on my health and shaking off the burnout I've been feeling. 

As I'm sure you know, Binghamton is going through a massive zoning shake-up and where people are living is going to change a bit.If your properties are in an area that's expected to benefit, like south side or JC, they might be really worth holding onto.

And yes, it's a shake-down LOL.  

Pardon me whilst I shake my magic 8 ball....   ;-)  No one knows when the next recession will be, or how bad, or what sector(s) will trigger it.
