I thought discussions on Real Estate Commission Rebate Saving were comical, but for a Mortgage Broker to pull back the curtain and show all in regards to Lender To Borrower Credit to pay closing costs, and it even gets such pushback, truly exposes the level of education of some posting on BP!  

I lost my job, don't have a lot of savings, and don't have experience as a landlord.

I have been watching, listening, reading, and studying about real estate for a long time always worried I didn’t have enough savings or knowledge to begin.

Secondly, is there a worksheet to be able to plug in numbers to compare 'holding vs. selling' and potential savings or not? 

Peter Bui doesn’t sound like a deal to me, I think you should save your 80k and buy a off market property wholesale....from me🤣👍🏽 send me a Pm and I’ll put you on my list I get lots of off market wholesale deals coming my way.

I'm debt free, and save/invest quite a bit of my income, so I can accept a property without cashflow (or even some negative cashflow) if it makes sense over the long term.

Hey Everyone,I moved to Orlando about a year ago and have been able to put save a good portion of my salary.

Are you talking about tax savings?

If it's only because you're using all/mostly your own money to buy it, then let me just say: there are many ways to get a better return out of your savings, than mainly relying on unabated appreciation from now on. 

We get a lot of these calls where they are trying to move a soon to be demoed house for development generally so the builder can save on demo.
