* Rate Lock-In vs. Thin-Equity: Two landlord scenarios with vastly different financial outcomes.
* Step Zero: How to accurately determine real market rent to avoid costly vacancy months.
* The Rent Readiness Formula: Breaking down PITI, Maintenance reserves (1%), Vacancy reserves (8%), and Management.

WHY USE A REALTOR FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION?
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
Here is what most buyers don't know โ having
your own real estate agent at a new construction
community costs you absolutely NOTHING. The
builder pays my commission. What you gain is
a specialist who knows the contracts, the
upgrade process, the Design Center strategy,
and how to negotiate on your behalf from
contract to closing. That is what I bring
to every single client I work with.
โ ๏ธ IMPORTANT: Many builders require your agent
to be registered on your FIRST visit. If you
tour without registering your agent, you could
lose your right to professional representation.
Call or text me BEFORE you visit any model home.
