What would be a good actionable for you now is to visit open houses in areas you think you like and starting talking with Listing Agents at those homes.

They consistently place homeowners in the position of insurers, all while aggressively marketing their own "insurance" that they practically never pay a claim on.Highly unethical, and I am quite surprised that Airbnb hasn't faced a class action lawsuit from damaged homeowners.

I would also keep in mind that very often it is not so much the decision itself but the decision maker that determines the success of a course of action.

However, can one really conclude an actionable difference exists that is so powerful the average home owner can pay off their mortgage in seven years?
