And right now, homeowners across the country are sitting on record amounts of it.Here’s a look at how that equity could be a game changer for you, and why it’ll flip your perspective from “Why would I move right now?”

Things like your car (if used for business) and home office expenses could be game-changers, especially in your first year. 

If you are looking to be an investor then I would suggest you don't be an agent that is a poor mans game and it will make it way more difficult to find deals. 

There are rules and situations unique to each state and that is why you want to go with a local lender vice someone just reaching out to you telling you they can do it. 2) Better recourse if the lender screws something up: a local lender has more skin in the game so to speak as if they screw something up their name will be mud to local real estate agents in the deal.

I’ve been focusing on building triplexes in Columbus, Ohio, and it’s been a game-changer.

There is really no reason to roll the dice in a craps game.

We're probably not going to take the risk if we're busy agents to play that game. 

Sorry for the long winded back story, but end game is to put a A frame on the existing 20x40' stem wall above near where I"m standing, and put some stairs into a drop down area below for chairs/fire-pit overlooking the river canyon below (but out of view) under where the drone is flying.

RE is a long term game. 

A good one will also have skin in the game and will even be able to bring new acquisitions to your attention.
