The loan programs of your buyers will dictate how much of a credit you are allowed to apply to their closing but it certainly helps to move inventory when you offer an incentive.

Im at base pay since I Just started, top pay at this job is at 5 years and we make 100k base pay, there are guys easily clearing 160k due to OT and other extra money functions. we also have a lot of opportunity to move up in position, Supervisors clear 230k like nothing so right now I'm not making much but long term this is one of the best city jobs to work.

I'm scratching my head because I feel like the program, least locally here in San Antonio, TX, tells all the landlords to put our listings there, but the tenants don't look there.

Not quite as good as a fancy Glock paired with an AR functionally, but plenty good enough and much better optics in the courtroom than those black military looking guns, if it ever comes to that.
