I get asked this question most from my renter friends, “how do I know if it’s time for me to stop renting and start buying?”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here are some things to consider:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Is your lease ending soon?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you have any savings built up for a down payment?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Is your credit score good?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you have a stable employment situation?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀
Are you tired of throwing away rent money, and ready to build equity in your investment?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you talked to a mortgage lender?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you answered most of these with a yes, it might be time to buy! If you answered some of these with a no, but you wish it was a yes – send me a message and let’s make it a yes! ⠀⠀

So you applied for a mortgage, and… your loan application was denied. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Don’t stress — there’s still hope for aspiring homeowners just like you.
Here’s what you can do:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. Find out why you were denied. Your loan officer should give you a definite answer as to why your application was denied. Having this info will help you know what you need to get approved.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. Check your credit report. Pull your free credit report and make sure it’s accurate.
3. Pay down your debt. Most lenders want to see a debt-to-income of less than 43 percent. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’re looking to buy a home and have had trouble getting a loan, give me a call. I’d love to listen, encourage, and get you back on the path to homeownership.

Expenses incurred by home buyers and sellers to finalize a real estate transaction are known as closing costs.
These may include appraisal fees, taxes, loan origination fees, credit report fees, title insurance, and so on.
In most situations, the buyer usually pays from 2% to 5% of the home’s purchase price, although closing costs can be paid by either the buyer or the seller.[name] [number] [email]
So you’re under contract…
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The seller has accepted our offer, and we are officially under contract!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Before closing day, there are a few crucial deadlines and items that we need to check off the list.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve compiled all of these into one page of the Home Buyer Guide, and once we get there, I’ll help you fill it out, and I will work with you to meet these deadlines and check off all of the to-dos!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

– Mediates questions regarding repairs in the home inspection.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Want to make your journey to homeownership smooth? Work with an experienced buyer’s agent!
If you’re looking to buy your first home, reach out. I’d love to hear from you!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The key to the strategic home search. ⠀
Make a list of your wants and needs, and run each potential home by that list.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Once you see a home you like online, let me know so I can set up a showing for us. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s important for both of us to be taking notes during these showings because once you see a ton of houses, you tend to forget a lot of the details of each.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Always refer back to the list of wants and needs so you make a decision that you’ll be happy with for years to come.

Mistake number one? Not hiring an agent. I know. I know. I’m a realtor, so of course, I have to say that. Right? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Well, yes — but I say it because I’ve witnessed the tension, stress, and financial loss sellers face when not hiring an agent.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Without an agent, it’s on a seller’s shoulders to navigate every step in the home selling process — completing paperwork, advertising, and marketing, screening buyers, scheduling showings, handling negotiations, understanding contingencies, translating legalese, etc. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A home is often a seller’s largest asset — the smart and stress-free way to sell a home is with an agent who will educate and advocate for you every step of the way. If you’re looking to sell, don’t go it alone. I can help.
Here’s how to get started in real estate investing.
1. Get face-to-face with at least 3 people already involved in investing. As great as YouTube and blogs are, there’s no substitute for getting one-on-one with investors who have been there and done that. Offer to buy them coffee and come ready to listen more than you talk.
2. Start setting aside funds every week that you mark for investment.
3. Choose a market and investing style. A few options — sole ownership of a single-family, joint ownership of a single-family or small multi-family, real estate investment trusts (REITs), commercial property, or land.
4. Analyze deals in your market choice. An experienced realtor who knows your area is essential here!

TRUE OR FALSE: Earnest money is non-refundable.
When you’re buying your first home, it might feel like you’re signing your life away when you pay that earnest money deposit with your offer to purchase a home.
The good news? This one is FALSE.
Earnest money is almost always refundable if the contract is cancelled within the due diligence time period and for a valid reason, like financing falling through or problems with the home inspection. And of course, on closing day, your earnest money payment counts towards your down payment on the overall home purchase, too.

FHA loans are part of a group of loans that are insured by the federal government. This means instead of lending money the FHA insures lenders and banks that they will cover losses they might incur in the event that a buyer does not repay the loan in full or on time.
