@Maverick Pate what sort of "home" are you thinking?

Most of the stuff that happens in title is formulaic and can be automated, but sometimes it's more complicated and takes a real human to sort through. 

In my market, brokers fail to use social media to do any sort of marketing and are completely missing the boat.  

If it can wait, I probably would to avoid a high rate and any sort of ARM (adjustable rate mortgage).

I'd love to know what sort of neighborhoods are the most up and coming for those millennial out of towner types like myself.

Yet while it is very subjective, you all sort of arrive at pretty similar conclusions of what an A, B, C, D is even within that subjectivity, and it is hard to pin down exactly how we do that.

William, the best way to learn is to provide skin in the game.

Not an expert myself, but I've heard that mice will chew through the foam, and it helps to have some sort of steel wool stuffed in first.I'm hoping the exterminator figured out the best/safest solutions for a rental property I own in Chicago, as well.https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/419...

They will probably want you to have some skin (cash) in the game.  

But they will all ask for some skin in the game as a newbie.
