The day you close on your house, do this one thing: give your house its own email address.

1234yourstreet@gmail.com. Free, five minutes, and it might save you thousands.

Send every improvement receipt there: new roof, new HVAC, the bathroom remodel. Those receipts raise your cost basis when you sell, which means less taxable gain and less you hand to the IRS. Documented, it counts. Undocumented, it’s gone.

Even bigger deal for investment properties, where you’re tracking improvements and depreciation for years and the IRS expects the paper trail.

The BLS added 130K jobs in January. Then quietly revised 2025 numbers DOWN by 900,000. The market isn’t buying it. Bonds are flat. Rates barely moved. Consumers are paying the price when rates should be lower than they already are. Something has to change. šŸ‘‡ by @applywithaaron

A little about me… I’ve spent over 27 years helping people think strategically about lending. When I’m not deep in numbers and loan strategy, you’ll usually find me outside. I married my favorite person almost 25 years ago, started in mortgages at 17, closed thousands of homebuyers, and still get just as excited about helping families win today as I did back then.
And yes, if I’m not in the office, I’m probably on a bike somewhere in the mountains. šŸšµā€ā™‚ļø 30,000+ miles ridden, nearly 2,000,000 feet climbed, Leadville 100 MTB finisher, and proud dog dad to Shaggy.
Thanks for being here, and for trusting me to be part of your homebuying story. ā¤ļøšŸ” If we haven’t met yet, drop a comment and say hi!

Mortgage rates just topped 7.5%. Before you panic, look at these numbers:

šŸ“‰ The last two times rates hit this level, they fell about a full point within a few months
šŸ” Homes for sale: 1.15M → 1.62M, the most since 2019
ā³ Days a typical home sits: 48 → 61

Same buyers. More homes. You can negotiate even more.

Plan around the payment, not the headlines. Comment PLAYBOOK and I'll reach out to make a plan for you.

Everyone waits for spring to buy a house…
and that might be exactly why fall is worth paying attention to. šŸ‘€šŸ‚

Less competition.
More motivated sellers.
More opportunities to negotiate.
And yes — really good homes are still hitting the market.

The buyers who quietly make moves this time of year are often the ones who aren’t fighting the same crowds.

If buying in DFW is still on your 2026 list, don’t mentally write off October just because summer is over.

Your best opportunity might not look like everyone else’s.

DM me OCTOBER and I’ll send you what’s available in your price range. šŸ¤

Closed on the latest flip project today… thank you to everyone who played a part and helped with this one. It was definitely a much bigger project than I anticipated. 

I sold it in 5 hours of it hitting the market and above list price. I took out the emotions and priced it where I would have advised any of my clients. 
Pricing is 90% of the marketing strategy in this market. If it not priced right it will sit for longer or possibly not even sell at all. 
@taylorddinteriors also did a phenomenal job at staging the home and gave it some extra sparkle… ✨ 

If you want to talk about:
Selling
Buying
Investing 
Flipping

I am always available šŸ¤ DM me

Mortgage rates are always moving and affecting the market. Wonder how it’s affecting you? šŸ”

That’s exactly why we sit down and strategize. Every client’s situation is different, and the right plan can make all the difference, especially when you’re buying before you sell.

In this session, we’re mapping out how our client can lock in their next home without the stress of timing two closings perfectly. No rushed sale, no temporary move, just a clear path forward.

Thinking about making a move but not sure where to start? Let’s talk strategy. šŸ“² Just shoot me a message and we can get the conversation started.

Spent this evening on Zoom with some future first-time homeowners, and I love these conversations. šŸ”

Before anyone starts touring homes, we build the plan:
āœ… A monthly payment that actually fits your life, not just the max you’re approved for
āœ… A clear picture of your cash to close
āœ… The right loan program and first-time buyer options for your goals

Buying your first home should feel exciting, not overwhelming. The right strategy up front makes all the difference.

Thinking about buying in the next year? Send me a message and let’s build your game plan. šŸ‘‡ by @applywithaaron
