My brokerage is located in Pittsburgh, and the trend that I've seen recently is a lot of former renters switching over to flipping properties instead.

Then they suddenly told me my taxable brokerage account doesn't count as reserves but they won't let me sell and move assets to a checking account because they won't be seasoned for 60 days.  

In my real Estate brokerages I have owned 90% women  in lending lots of women loan officers and of course support staff is mainly women.. at The title companies I work with their is maybe one male and 10 to 20 females all the senior escrow officers are women.the only time i see men in the escrow side of things is back east in states that use attorneys to close deals and those are generally all men.. as in the attorney that owns the practice is male and his staff is generally female  Not all but majority of the companies I have closed with back east are like this,

I was an agent when buyer broker agency was introduced in VA, as a solution to avoid the many lawsuits post-sale arising from buyer confusion that the agent assisting them actually represented them, when at that time all agents worked for the seller.

The retirement/financial independence equation he uses is a paid off primary home, 500k in liquid assets (usually retirement, cash, and after tax brokerage account), and more than 1 source of income (part time job, real estate, social security for those of that age, dividends, etc.).

It will be VERY interesting to see how these three factors influence existing home sales over the next 3 months:Seasonal slowdown (-)Mortgage rates dropping (+)Buyers potentially paying their own buy-side brokerage commissions (-)Average Number of Offers Received per SaleThe average home sold in July 2024 had 2.7 offers, down slightly from 2.9 in June 2024, and well below 3.0 in July 2023.

I'd suggest finding an investment brokerage that sources deals and double closes as well.
