For me, I wish I knew not to be afraid of locking up a deal. In the beginning I hesitated because I wasn’t 100% sure on my numbers or if I could even pull it off. What I’ve learned is if you’ve got a solid contract and the right title company, you’re not really locked in the way you think — most of the time you’re not even putting up earnest money. Bottom line: if it feels like a decent deal, lock it up and figure it out along the way. That’s how you learn.
What’s everyone’s thing?
