It’s easy to get excited and move fast, especially when someone says “you’re pre-approved,” but the fine print can make or break a deal’s cash flow.Also agree 100% on 3rd Federal — their HELOC terms are super investor-friendly if you’re in one of the states they serve.

Should I talk to a lender to try and get pre-approved, or at least see what I can do to get that ball rolling?

You do have to have sales skills and a great follow up process but ifthe lead is free first, you're paying more in commissions every timewithout sharpening your sales skills.I've been in both positions as an Acquisition Manager.Except, I was either paid a fixed salary or I can get a big % of every deal closed on theprofit of the total rehab when the house sells.A fixed salary made me incredibly lazy, because no matter what happenedwith a lead, there seemed to be no loss.Until I looked at my numbers when I switched to a higher commission pay structure only.Isn't that funny how it was the opposite scenario of paid lead generation?

The prices have come down since the pandemic peak but still above pre-pandemic levels so for long terms investors Austin is still on growth trajectories.

Often it depends on how and when they get paid for their job.

If so, how is their commission usually paid?
