I can't follow half the things you said here, but what do you mean by the above quote?

And your neighbors pay you for their yards? I didn't read the whole thread, so there may be some context I'm missing.

Because a Rocket Mortgage preapproval is already underwritten before they send out an approval letter, it is deemed better than any other mortgage lender which will still have to go to -- and could experience trouble with -- underwriting before closing. Rocket will speak with the seller's agent and actually pay sellers $2k if the sale goes under contract and somehow doesn't pan out. Seller's agents would rather take THOSE odds over basically anything other than a cash offer.

I said that after rehabbing the shithole of crab grass that my front yard was before I got here, two of my neighbors now pay me to do THEIR yards. It's a nice little side hustle that doesn't take much effort since I don't need to leave my street.
