Zachary, if I understand the requirements correctly(and it’s totally possible that I don’t) I believe I should meet the requirements of REPS easily with my activity in the home building company.

So if youre planning on buying close to downtown, I would buy as close to downtown as possible, especially now because it is a buyers market.

Thank you for reaching out to me, I actually just sent you an email with my info if you wanted to have a phone call or possibly even meet up. 

Sure you can have the other 2 selections possibly but they might not be available when you jump out of the first selection.

You’re going to face the maximum taxes possible.

The reason is that essentially you are property searching for two different jobs, one for investment properties that most clients wouldn't be interested in or investment properties that could possibly work for me.The con would be that I always give my clients first dibs, so if I come across a property, I do not want to lose their future business, so I send it to them first and then go from there.

Overall it is possible but every lender is different.

Real estate can be emotional and you want to make sure you keep emotions out as much as possible so you can think clearly about your options.

The house across the street from us sold at $1365/sqft (bananas), which means, if I were to do the math, we could possibly sell our home today for $1.8M... if we wait another few years, it seems like over $2M is a strong likelihood for a sale price.

( I don't want to get too much into the weeds and possibilities of other options that may be available, so I kept this question very simple for feedback)
