Any advice/tips would be great!

Seems to be in the home stretch for city wide approval. 

I do appreciate the tips in evaluating other agents, though.

The farther you are from home the more time it will take to get your team, manage them, and monitor.  

To be clear, this is for primary homes only.

I recommend you talk to a lender and get real clear on what you can qualify for, what you can do to improve your borrowing position, and make sure you have your finances under control.

I own some multifamily homes in Akron and Canton, OH, all MLS deals.

We purchased the home on 4/15/2022 for $350,000, invested $16,000 in renovations, and sold it for $392,000 on 9/30/2022.

Seek out neighborhoods where demand is steady or increasing, and take into account elements like conveniences, safety, and the closeness to public transit.Pick a home that fits in with your long-term objectives.

It was a bit confusing when you said that a buyer can only get a credit up to the closing costs, but then later used an example where the credit was more than closing costs and the buyer could use those funds for improvements.
