Closed on a small duplex sale last month and after everything cleared there's about 90k. Two options on the table and I keep flipping. Option one is putting it against a loan on a…

Four agents in the last two months have asked me for aerial as part of a photo package and I've had to say no every time. Two of them went and hired somebody who did the whole sho…
