davenportmeghan+FollowWhy Gen Z Might Rent ForeverSo, it turns out buying your first home is now a late-30s milestone, not a fresh-out-of-college move.

If you’re Gen Z, maybe focus on saving and side hustles—your dream home might just have to wait a bit longer! #RealEstate #Homeownership #GenZ00Share
randerson+FollowHow I Snagged a 3% Mortgage in 2024Ever heard of an assumable mortgage? I lucked into one and scored a 3% rate when everyone else is stuck with 6%. Basically, I took over the seller’s old, low-rate loan instead of getting a new one. It meant a lot less stress about monthly payments—my mortgage is way cheaper than renting nearby. Heads up: not every loan can be assumed, and you’ll need to jump through some hoops, but if you spot one, it’s a total money hack for homebuyers! #RealEstate #HomeBuyingHacks #MortgageTips10Share
Samantha Welch+FollowWould You Live in a Spite House?Ever heard of a house built out of pure pettiness?

Proof that even a revenge project can turn into a smart real estate move! #RealEstate #HomeHacks #TinyLiving10Share

megan01+FollowWhy I Pay More Rent for Beach LifeThinking about swapping city life for island vibes? Michael ditched Chicago for San Juan, Puerto Rico, and while his rent shot up, he says the endless summer and beach walks are totally worth it. The catch? Hot spots like Condado cost more than you’d expect, and groceries are pricier thanks to weird shipping rules. But hey, he’s three buildings from the ocean and has backup power for outages—sounds like a fair trade for some sunshine! #RealEstate #LifeUpgrade #BeachLiving20Share
davenportmeghan+FollowWhy Fewer People Are House Hunting NowThinking about buying a home? You’re not alone in hitting pause.

Some homeowners are jumping on the chance to refinance before rates climb higher. If you’re house hunting, you might find less competition—but your wallet will feel the pinch! #RealEstate #HomeBuying #MortgageRates20Share
