Quote from @Blaise Peterson: Daughter: 26yo and earns >100k/yr and, historically, has rolled her eyes when I mention the phrase "real estate".

so if it's possible to inoculate folks to that there's a lot they can do in terms of networking and meetups, even the pitch-y ones if their eyes are open. 

But here's the catch. 

Think about it now with the new brokerage laws where buyers are expected to pay brokers fee's if they are not paying thousands to mortgage brokers it leaves them more money to pay their Agent who actually finds the house for them helps them with insprections etc etc.. buying that home in British Columbia really opened my eyes to how goofed up our owner occ lending process is .. and costly.

thanks for that so is 1.5% bad bc that's what that person messaged me  there is no regulation on Transactional funding basically its whatever you can negotiate.. 1% is the going rate from most.. some will be higher some will be lower.. just google around for TF funding and and talk to a number of those funders to find your best deal.there are half a dozen of these folks or so on BP that do provide this service maybe they will catch this thread or maybe you do some snooping around on the site and find them.

But you're living in a market people are keeping an eye on from all over the east coast! 

4) Would It be easier to borrow that money knowing that I am trying to provide affordable housing in the governments eyes?

For extra context, after much back and forth, they stated that the total cost includes “the charge of the replacement purchase and labor to install it,” which seems just vague enough to imply it’s for just the microwave and install, but also allows them some wiggle room to add a fee in case we get an actual receipt and catch them in a lie (which we did)…

Look at a few each day online, or catch up with an agent who knows their stuff and househacked to give you some pointers. 

Its certainly a very precarious situation for these companies managing there reputations..Which in todays world of SM can be wiped out in a blink of the eye or a stroke of the keyboard..
