In sum, I understand that ads aren't ideal for all of the users but I think BP does a good job of finding brands that align with investors, and I don't really see any way for BP to be able to continue to provide free real estate resources without them

Ideally I wouldnt want to live in a hugely rural area, but dont need to be in a big city either.

In real estate, this means buying properties that generate income—while we sleep—and (ideally) appreciate in value over time.

Look for long time operators, ideally that survived the Great Recession.  

Nobody really knows how low they'll go but I agree with predictions of 20-25%...and I wonder what Agents are doing to make up that delta in their revenue.We diversified well in advance knowing we needed to create additional streams of income, ideally by simply focusing on what we control, the size of our roster, and more effectively monetizing all of our current transactions. 

The ideal asset allocation for someone in your financial position depends on various factors, including your age, risk tolerance, retirement goals, and current lifestyle.

Ideally call between 10-2 pm cuz the city planners should be in the office (lol).

Some other loan type that would not interfere with the projected ROI would be ideal but not sure if they exist, any thoughts?

Ideally my goal is to travel while renting out this property.

Market may not be ideal to sell right now, but if you wait as rates drop, you may get better pricing.If you do sell when you have no income, you obviously would be in a lower bracket.
