russellolson+FollowHome Shopping? Mortgage Rates Just DroppedThinking about buying a home? Here’s a little pick-me-up: mortgage rates just hit a 10-month low! That means your monthly payment could be a bit less painful if you’re house hunting. But heads up—only about 28% of homes are affordable for the average buyer right now, so you might need to get creative: think smaller spaces, new neighborhoods, or maybe just waiting it out a bit longer.

Brad Caldwell+FollowReverse Mortgages: Will They Mess With My Benefits?Thinking about using your home to get some extra cash in retirement? Good news: a reverse mortgage won’t shrink your Social Security or Medicare. But if you’re counting on need-based programs like SSI or Medicaid, watch out—big withdrawals could put those at risk. The trick? Don’t park a lump sum in your bank account. Spread it out, spend it, and always check with a pro before making moves. It’s all about stretching your retirement dollars without tripping any wires! #RealEstate #retirementhacks #moneymoves00Share

Last year, a similar bunker sold for triple its starting price and is now being turned into a tourist spot. Who knew prepping for the end of the world could be a real estate side hustle? #RealEstate #realestate #quirkyinvestments00Share
