Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

@James D.I can recommend 2 contractors I have personally use.Send me a DM.Goodluck

This is my first public post and I'm hoping for some encouragement and insight into the decisions and direction I am heading...My family of 4 is moving next week out of our SFR in Milwaukee (between the airport and Bay View for those that are in the area) and moving to a duplex which we will live in it as a single family while our kids are growing up.

I look forward to connecting with a great bunch of people who are all striving for FINANCIAL FREEDOM & GENERATIONAL WEALTH💰🙌🏼 Welcome to BP and would recommend reading over as many threads of interest as possible to gain knowledge and insight on many different perspectives.

I would never recommend people mix finances and /or share mortgage when they are not married.

We typically recommend a 2% gap before a refi, so you might want to aim for a 5.375% rate before speaking with your lender. 

@Dee Mandrekar I would not recommend pursuing lost income.

However, that CD will stay at 5% while the yield on your property will grow.

I'm not personally associated but know the folks and highly recommend them.
