“Because they don’t need to put any money down on the loan, these buyers often have more cash at their disposal to pay for their closing costs or appraisal differences.”
“One of the most rewarding things about accepting an offer with a VA loan is knowing that you are showing a veteran that you appreciate his or her service,” Serviss said. “It can seem like a small gesture, but it can have a huge impact on that service member or veteran.”
They can negotiate with the buyer to find a number that works for both parties. However, the seller must pay a portion of the buyer’s escrow fee, according to REALTOR® Nicole Serviss, and the cost can vary from state to state.

Inflation and the Price of Goods: What to Buy Now and What to Avoid
August 2021
Nicole Serviss, RE/MAX Elite
Thank you Epoch Times for reaching out and asking me to share my expertise as a REALTOR. Here’s what I said:
Large purchases such as homes can trigger extra stress when prices are climbing.
“Some buyers are being priced out of their desired areas,” Nicole Serviss, a realtor in the Seattle area, told The Epoch Times.
“In some cases, it’s better to overpay for a home now just to guarantee you’ll be able to buy one, than to wait,” she said.
If your timeline is flexible, however, you may decide to home shop next year to evaluate prices. You’ll also want to consider interest rates on mortgages and monthly payments to see if the amount fits into your budget.

I've Been Featured in The Ultimate Guide of How to Become a Landlord
Thank you Steadily for reaching out and asking me to share my experiences as a landlord. Here’s what I said.
Thank you Steadily for reaching out and asking me to share my experiences as a landlord. Here’s what I said:
“I bought my first home at a very young age. 4 kids later, my family quickly outgrew that 1200 sqft home. When it was time to upsize, I had a decision to make: keep or sell.
Being located in a military town, it was an easy decision to make it a rental. It was about 90 minutes away from my new home, so I had a management company handle things for me. After years of positive cash flow, I eventually sold that single-family home and used the funds in a 1031 exchange to buy a duplex closer to my new home.
With my new duplex so close to me, I could now manage it myself and increase my monthly cash flow. I became a member of my state landlord association and that has been pivotal in making this new venture a success. They provide leases, updates on landlord-tenant laws, tenant screening, and support. I have a great group of mentors that have helped me make this landlord venture a success. I’m always on the lookout for more rentals and
look forward to being a great landlord/businesswoman for future tenants.”
