I’m from Milwaukee and have done some interesting things and have some deals on the table for you to look at

I don't want to rush anything so learning what kind of time table I should expect.

We network, have round table discussions, as well as provide small presentations on various topics. 

It's only 3.5% down + closing costs and reserves.Work your day job, mow lawns, leaf cleanup, shovel snow, flip furniture, pick up night shifts waiting tables/bartending, stock shelves at home depot overnight if you hate talking to people or anything else.

Make a table and compare, as interest rates and years of fixed vs variable rates will be all over the place.  

Most will likely stick to the technical limit of Sept 2021 when it ceased being a primary residence, but some may be comfortable going by the address on the 2021 return and others may explore a partial exclusion, depending on the reasons for your move abroad.If you'd like to read up on the technical rules, the IRS publication 523 gets into more detail than most people would like to know, but it does have some helpful tables and examples for different scenarios.

With so many options on the table, you can afford to negotiate for the best deal."

I would just BRRRR by yourself or with one other person that you trust that has the same passion and can bring something to the table.

Now that BP has somehow determined #1 status for some members it might be fun to do a weekly podcast with the #1s in a round table. 

I would work with an experienced agent where good negotiating skills were table stakes and that's their value proposition (they do it all day, every day).
