Subject too you can get in low cost or free but the risks associated come with the need for money, silent seconds can ruin your personal life and make refinances possibly impossible or can sink the investment throughout or after liquidation.

As we have witnessed in the past, specifically the years of 2020-2022, when rates dropped, everyone jumps in to buy a house, which drives up competition, which in turn makes housing prices go WAY UP to the point that people OVERBID on properties.

This is odd, but it makes me feel they are more legitimate and not try to take the deposits and run. - They do have a catch that even if you waive the buyer agent fee as a leverage for negotiation of the deal, the brokerage will still charge the transaction fee.  

If I pull up my market in AirDNA, and scroll down in the comps to find my actual house, the revenue it says I'm making is not very accurate compared to the revenue I'm actually making.
