Here are the key takeaways from the podcast:
*Real estate agents are discussing common topics in the market including interest rates, lawsuits against agents, and how to buy a house with a low down payment.
*Buyers can still buy a house with a down payment as low as 3% with an FHA loan.
*Investors are looking for deals and may be able to negotiate seller-paid closing costs.
*Appreciation is when a house increases in value and depreciation is when it decreases in value. Over the long term, houses tend to appreciate.
*DSR loans are a type of non-qualified mortgage that do not require a credit check but instead focus on the debt-service coverage ratio of the property.
*Homeowners insurance may not cover everything. It's important to understand the caps on valuables and to consider a separate policy for expensive jewelry.
