We’ll definitely have to meet up some time!

They never meet in person.

Some agents engage in whats called a variable rate commission.

My brokerage hosts free meet-ups.

Or are you okay having this rental at a low rate?

At the same time, if you are able to get a mortgage with low interest rates and your student loans are also at a low rate, you may be better off investing. 

If the Fed cuts rate later this fall you'll have an easier time selling!

If the deed/title is in their name or you are both on it, you'll need to have a meeting of the minds.

Also, everyone is anticipating much lower rates over the next 12-18months, so if you purchase today you will most likely refinance to a lower rate in the coming few years.With Real Estate it's important to remember not only that it is a long term investment, but that there are many ways to make money on the asset. 

We don’t want to do a cash out refi due to having a 2.5 interest rate.
