Honestly, I think paying off properties is simply a personal choice, whether it be your main residence or a rental property.

I got my RE license as a means of targeted learning about RE, but being that it was a side endeavor and my main job salary and satisfaction kept improving I never made a full jump into RE agent-hood and hanging my license with a broker.My question as a potential primary residence buyer in new big-builder home purchase, could I hang my license with either a 100% commission brokerage or a broker friend for the transaction to retain the buyer's commission?

My main concern is that it is in a "flood zone" although it RARELY floods.

Once you hire a main cleaner you trust you won't need to inspect every time.

In my current situation, I'll just transfer everything into our names so I can get the benefit of NFCU's 95% LTV.On another note... do you know of anyone that does non-recourse lending when the 20% down on a multifamily property is from a self-directed IRA?

What other benefits are there other than access to the MLS?

Mainly just family and work friends.

Sounds pretty good, but I’m unsure of what questions I should ask a broker to confirm they have the ability to benefit my long term goals, and not only their own.

Coastal federal credit union is one with a lot of good benefits and it’s available for the general public as well.

Mainly, the systems implemented are fascinating (VA, automated offers, etc.)
