Is it possible to compare what the brokers I have consulted with offer.Or is that unethical and I should stick to the first one who send me his details also for the sake of not affecting my credit score.

I’d suggest checking the condition of the new property first—you might need to put in some work if you plan to live there long-term.While I’m not a tax professional, and you should definitely consult one, keeping your current home as a rental seems like a solid move.

Send me message and I'll get you the email for the consultant we worked with.

I cant tell you how many consultations I've had that have literally saved people from thousands of dollars in mistakes because they were trying to do something impossible that some tik-tok scam spouted off in a 30-second clip.

You can also consult with a local PM.
