WHY BUY A HOUSE?

Stop wasting money renting and househacking. By renting from someone else, you’re effectively paying their mortgage and building their equity. After a year of renting you have nothing to show for your hard-earned money. Take that same money and give it back to yourself by buying your own home, condo, duplex, anything!

[/fusion_tab][fusion_tab title=”Invest in Your Future” icon=”fa-calendar fas”]Think of buying real estate as paying into a savings account. There are several investment strategies where tenants can pay some or all of your mortgage, meaning that other people are building your equity therefore increasing your net worth for you.[/fusion_tab][fusion_tab title=”Stable Assets” icon=”fa-cubes fas”]

Real estate doesn’t fluctuate as quickly as the stock market can and people (renters) will always need a place to live. Holding a property as a rental is a stable asset that will appreciate over time and you can always sell or use a HELOC if you ever need money to put towards other life expenses.

Rates differ based on credit score, loan type, and other factors. Some loan programs are lower rates with higher down payments, others offer lower rates if you meet a credit score minimum. Some states also have more loan programs than other states, and these may be allocated based on criteria unique to that state’s programs. A loan officer is there to help you navigate the loan process. They will identify the best rates and terms for you and explain them so that you’re confident in your decision. Be sure to ask questions throughout the process.

Real estate agents are there to ensure you have a smooth transaction. Agents are required to be licensed with the state and are required to renew that license every two years. Be sure to ask questions throughout the process. Good questions include: How do you get paid? What’s your availability? How will I contact you?

FINDING THE HOME FOR YOU

Everybody wants the perfect investment property that’s turnkey ready, with high cash flow, great resale value, in the perfect neighborhood, and all with low money down. That is a unicorn deal, it doesn’t exist. The elements of a buy box can usually be broken down into investment strategy, property type, rehab type, financing options and some other minor factors. Knowing how these factors apply for you will help you keep from waiting for a deal that won’t appear, or getting paralysis from analysis by casting too wide of a net.

[/fusion_tab][fusion_tab title=”Know Your Numbers” icon=”fa-chart-bar fas”]Financing choices often narrow your buy-box the most. It’s important to talk with your lender about this and your real estate agent. Knowing your financial capacity is important. All parties knowing what financing options are possible or best for the buyer help for an efficient searching process and less stressful closing process.[/fusion_tab][fusion_tab title=”Understanding Contracts” icon=”fa-file-contract fas”]Moving forward with contracts on a transaction is often where people get cold feet because it’s where the rubber meets the road; where being in love with the idea of real estate investing turns into starting your real estate investment journey. Understanding the jargon and different structures of contracts before you start submitting offers is the best way to combat getting cold feet.
