in some markets thats only 3 or 4 transactions.. to me of course I am highly biased because I started as an agent at 18 and got my brokers at 20 and only worked for myself the last 48 years.. having access to MLS and list my own deals more than pays for any over head.

We will "data dump" off top of head, because we live this, it's our ever waking life to be informed. 

Just a heads up, a lot of the down payment assistance programs come with higher interest rates and other hooks.

Thanks for the heads up.

Hey @Kristin Solbach, first get the loophole thing out of your head.

Take the 4 Hour Work Week approach and head off to somewhere in exotic😉

At the end of the day everyone just wants a safe place to be able to lay their heads each night.

I think as @Michael Plaks mentioned I think you need to clear your head and just focus on deals right now. 

If you buy a duplex and your "cost" per month is 750 (just using a number) but for you to rent or (even buy) a similar single family it would cost you 2000 a month then you are still 1250 a head every month! 

Would you be ok with jumping on a call with me as I am trying to wrap my head around this?
