There is no magic pill. 

I run phone numbers through the Forewarn app and don't reply to Google/fake/burner numbers.

The idea that being upfront with your lender might tip them off to problems and make things worse is understandable, but not engaging early can lead to worse outcomes when they get frustrated by lack of communication and surprises.It’s also a tough pill to swallow that some lenders will act out of spite or pure strategy, rather than being reasonable partners.

The worst part about this is it means putting their future plans on the back burner.

Because while rates may not be as low as you want them to be, you don’t want to put your needs on the back burner, hoping for something the data shows isn’t likely to happen.Working with an expert who is keeping an eye on all the economic factors that can influence mortgage rates is going to be essential this year.

And definitely not some magic pill to investing in RE on easy mode.Buying a new community with 300-500 new builds but no unique-ness is just buying into a saturated set up.

I have better things to do with my time than fight over mediocre crap shacks at top dollar with people like you.Also you're a real estate broker shilling for clients on biggerpockets and I'm basically retired at 36 so who's the failure here cause it ain't me.Sam, you need to take a pill. 

Now may be the time to buy, but these are tough pills to swallow. 

That shift from owning to optimizing is where things start to change.It’s a tough pill to swallow, but also a powerful one.

@Amanda Gauthier my best advice is put the entire notion and thought of syndicating on the back burner, the faaaar back burner.
