Always ask for the HOA’s financials before you buy—future you will thank you! #RealEstate #RealEstateTips #HomeBuying00Share

Samantha Welch+FollowWhat If the Middle Class Quit Buying Homes?Ever wondered what would happen if the middle class just stopped buying houses? ChatGPT says home prices for regular folks would drop, but rents would shoot up since everyone still needs a place to live. Investors would scoop up homes to rent out, making it even harder to build wealth through homeownership. Plus, less home buying means fewer jobs in construction and home goods. Basically, renting gets pricier, owning gets rarer, and the wealth gap grows. Yikes! #RealEstate #HousingMarket #MoneyTalk01Share
Brad Caldwell+FollowWhy $3M Isn’t a Golden Ticket AnymoreEver thought $3 million meant you could retire and sip lattes forever? Not so fast. These days, even a fat nest egg can feel thin if you live in a pricey city or let your spending creep up. Housing, healthcare, and inflation eat away at your cash, and if your investments aren’t working hard enough, you might be back to budgeting sooner than you think. Turns out, millionaire status is more about smart choices than a magic number. #RealEstate #MoneyTalks #RetirementReality00Share
Heather Moore+FollowWhy co-owning a home with friends worksSplitting the cost of a house with a friend isn’t just about saving money—it’s about sharing the load, from bills to big decisions. Selena Lounds and her best friend bought a place in upstate New York, turned it into an Airbnb, and have already pulled in over $90,000 in revenue. They say the best part is not facing homeownership alone, but it does mean compromising on things like renovations and décor. Would you ever team up with a friend to buy property? What would be your biggest concern or dealbreaker? #RealEstate #Homeownership #Airbnb00Share
russellolson+FollowIs Your Realtor Hiding FSBO Deals?Ever feel like your realtor is dodging those 'For Sale By Owner' (FSBO) listings? You’re not imagining things—some agents skip these homes to protect their commission, not your interests. FSBOs can actually be great deals and are totally legit, but they sometimes pay lower commissions. If your agent won’t show you a house you like, ask them directly if it’s about the money. Remember, you’re the boss of your home search! #RealEstate #HomeBuying #FSBO00Share
Brian Sanchez+FollowWhat If the Middle Class Stopped Buying Homes?Ever wondered what would happen if the middle class just stopped buying houses? ChatGPT says home prices for regular folks would drop, but rents would actually go up because everyone would be stuck renting. Investors would scoop up empty homes to rent out, making it even harder to own. Plus, less home buying means fewer jobs in construction and fewer people building wealth. Basically, renting could become the new normal—and not in a good way. #RealEstate #housingmarket #realestate02Share
