.- I go to military training on the 7th.I have a good lock on my interest rate and afraid of doing the mortgage application over again due to a slight decrease in my current job pay but will be going up again in a few months and I'll also be house hacking once I own and solely live in the house.

@Tom Jensen the problem is that the cash value is not really yours Why would you pay interest to use your own money.The real problem comes when you borrow $ from your whole life Policy it reduces your death benefit by the amount borrowed.It is supposed to be your $ so why does it decrease the death benefit.

It sheds light on two critical issues affecting the industry.Read article here.Firstly, there's been a noticeable decrease in transactions.

Most every market will have areas that rents are increasing and decreasing.

Even if you have to pay a bit more now and have CF decreased, you will get the funds to continue deals and can reposition later. 

What are the top 3 criteria you think on why the appreciation will increase or decrease over a period of 7 years?

I also googled the rent trend for the area - apparently there was 20% decrease in rents in 2023. 

This will decrease sound transfer and vibrations.

Perhaps ensuring a direct line (by way of wire or Zelle) to the business account for the property will decrease the waiting period for funds to clear.

With rent and mortgage costs doubling in recent years, affordability for locals has decreased significantly.
