Quote from @Tom Hall: My mortgage rate is very high  and I would like to pay some of it off, so that my monthly payments would go down a bit, I dont know if it is financial smart to do it or not?

We’re really focused on making a smart first deal, even if it takes a bit more time to find it.

Buyers are Liars" You'd think most buyers would be smart enough to stop lying when their lies have been publicly disproven.

With that said, a lot of people take the cost-benefit, but no one can argue it's a smart choice, just a frugal one.

Get listed on all the OTA’s and a direct booking site, use good management software like HostAway, use dynamic pricing software like pricelabs, use WiFi enabled smart locks like Schlage encode, use an email capture system for guests to login to WiFi like stayfi, use those captured emails to do marketing for your direct booking site, and automate scheduling and payments for cleaners and maintenance.

Before our contract fell through, we were going to go with a business policy from State Farm.

You purchase title insurance in case there is a lien they missed.It sounds like you merely defaulted on the contract.

The detective is not an expert in contract law and doesn't know what he's talking about.

I had this deal go UC but we just fell out of contract.

.: I haven't really noticed any change at all in my market except minor changes to the standard contracts (minor language changes in contract to buy and sell, listing agreement, and buyer's agency agreement).
