As far as a correction, that's happening now - unfortunately most of current price reductions are because agents either don't know the real starting price point, or what's more likely... the real estate agent is in a personal cash crunch and will just list at whatever the seller wants to list at...Hope that helps

The people I helped were very grateful to me. 

I am glad to help. just ask.

@Nicholas D.I would contact a mortgage broker to help you with the process.

Perhaps my son being one of the tenants will help to mitigate the damage?

What it does say is IN ABSENCE OF A WRITTEN LEASE, the late fee is 10% with a 5 day grace period.This is super helpful, thank you!

Seems like I am wasting time for others.Some insight from experienced investors who use conventional financing or lenders would help me.

Do everything you can to pay down the debt, and work on side hustles that actually produce income to help accelerate the process.

I would also get a PM to help.

Within the purchase contract, are there any specific criteria I need to call out (this is anew build, if that helps)2. for the agent contract, it says they will be the exclusive agent - I get that makes sense in the context of this property, but can they make themselves the exclusive agent we have to work with across Texas?
