Which of those two options would you pick as a buyer for a duplex?

101k with 3% seller credit
107 K with 6% seller credit

I think I’m more appeal to 6% because it drastically brings my closing cost down but I want to get an opinion here

101k, lower property taxes

No - based on city / county appraisal anywhere I’ve ever bought

Are the houses 100% identical with no other possible thing to change besides the price? If one duplex even gave you $100 more in rent a month there’s math to do.

Splitting hairs then. I'd go for the lower monthly payment down the road, assuming using a mortgage. The interest probably means more than all the other stuff. Also, obviously if same house property tax is irrelevant to your query.

I’ve been in sales for nearly 3 years doing alright and all of a sudden I have developed an anxiety towards sales that has made my job unbearable in the last few months.
I haven’t made any major mistakes that triggered this, I just gradually developed so much self doubt.

Like I spend way too long overthinking my phrasing in communication lately…

Has anyone else experienced this?
Any advice on how to get through this?

I’m so grumpy about new campus hires. Sometimes I’m judgmental (your hobby is “working on your golf swing,” really?). Sometimes I’m just exhausted by the worried earnestness. Sometimes I’m amazed that they seem to have zero useful skills, yet they’ll be making 150k easily in the not too distant future.

I'm under contract for a new build in progress that won't be done until much later this year. I fully expect interest rates will be higher than what I originally estimated. I may or may not try to lock in a good rate early, but I'm planning on renting it out and this throws a bit if a wrench in my margins. I can take it financially, but wondering, If I absolutely needed to get out of buying it, what recourse do I have? Or could I go ahead, and refinance later (who knows rates at that time...)?
