I posted about it on my Instagram HerMillennialMoney if you want to learn my tips and tricks with the care.

Under contract to buy my first home - house hacking a triplex. Property has been leased by the same three tenants for the last 5+ yrs, rents haven’t been raised since they moved in.

Rents don’t make/break my mortgage payment but I’m leaving a lot on the table if I don’t increase significantly.

My Redfin agent recently quit with one day notice to start his own firm. He was the one behind my deal and did a lot of work and help with negotiation.

As a buyer I know I can switch firms with seller’s consent and it won’t impact the deal, or will it? The agent said if I went with him he’s throw me an additional incentive to close with him.
