I always say: you can pay your mortgage, you're not homeless. If you're ready to do it, go ahead and do it and stop saying it's not the right time.” – Jackie Lovelock “Some people may freeze and just get stuck and say, I don't know what I'm going to do and not do anything. And then some people want to run away… So, people respond differently." – Erika Brown GUEST RESOURCES: Jackie Lovelock RESOURCES: [BACKFLIP] Struggling with property data and financing?
