real estate: Real Estate FABLES Or TRUTH? YOU Decide! - 05/11/24 02:19 PM
Traditional or Old Real Estate Advice, is it FABLE or TRUTH? Some old real estate advice SEEMS wise but things are not always what they seem. What seems like TRUTH may actually be a FABLE.

Buying a home is a major life decision, and for many people, it is the largest purchase they … (15 comments)
