@bernitup6492 5 месяцев назад

the first minute of the intro sums it up. I hit each one and was able to buy on a single income.. according to my lender, I was the model borrower and they were going above and beyond to make sure I got the home I wanted. I got my home during the 2021 craziness and it was due to the loan officer that was handling my loan getting in contact with seller's agent and letting know my solid situation.

@NicoleNark 5 месяцев назад

I am so happy that you watched and took the time to share your success story! This is the inspiration that others watching need to see. 🎉 Props to you for having your finances in tip-top shape but also I LOVE that your loan officer took the time to get in contact with the seller’s agent to put in a good word for you. Those small things can make a BIG difference!

I spent much of the last 2 years (after getting laid off) doing temp jobs and lower salary part time jobs. I finally got another decent income (still not great, but it's better than it was the last 2 years), but now I'm going to be spending the next 2 years catching up on my debt and hopefully even start saving towards a down payment.

@NicoleNark 5 месяцев назад

I’ve been in your shoes. I had a slow start when I first got into real estate and accrued some credit card debt. It took time to pay off but being on the other side of it now, feels good! Sounds like your new job is a step in the right direction. If you keep at it (even on the tough days) I’m sure it will pay off!

@BarratShelton 18 дней назад

it's unfortunate most people don't have such information. I don't really blame people who panic. Lack of information can be a big hurdle.

Doesn't matter if the economy is misbehaving, a great wealth managers will always make return.

@bluedemo4595 4 месяца назад

Do u have any advice on how to lower mortgage payment and interest and how to go about it? Please advise, thank you.

@NicoleNark 4 месяца назад

In my opinion, buying down your interest rate only makes sense if you plan on living in the home for a while and don't have any other use for the money required to do so. Really the only other way to reduce the monthly mortgage payment is by putting more money down. The larger your down payment is, the less you will be financing!

I’ve been working on paying down my debts since September of last year. I paid off all of my credit cards the first check of this year, and will pay my car and a personal loan off March 15! Student loan May 1, I’m wanting to get pre approved soon but I’m thinking maybe I should wait one more year, though I could save a ton of money buying a house vs renting as a monthly standpoint so it’s kinda difficult for me to stick to one thing. Do I apply or do I wait??

@NicoleNark 4 месяца назад

Wow sounds like you have made some awesome financial decisions! It wouldn’t hurt to talk to a lender. Most lenders are really good at discussing options with you without having to fill out an application. Having that conversation may help you get an understanding of monthly payments and help you make a decision on timeline! ☺️

Not sure if you will see my comment. My mother gifted my sister and I land. We would loved to be able to build a house there, but I am terrified of the whole process. It seems much easier to just purchase a house. Especially considering all that can go wrong. Any tips for someone who already owns the land?

@NicoleNark 4 месяца назад

Hey there! I'll be honest, it is much easier to buy a house than to build a house. If the land is owned outright and you do not have any loans on the land, I'd still advise you speak with a builder. Look for a custom home builder in your area and set up an appointment! That is really going to be the best way to determine whether building is going to be feasible for you!

My husband and I have one income and four littles. We have great credit score, a little debt, and some savings toward a down payment. We will be first time home buyers. Hoping to secure a home this year. It is really daunting once you start calculating all the fees involved. My husband is of the belief that we need a 20% down to purchase but we are not yet there. How would you help someone who thinks that is the only way?

@NicoleNark 4 месяца назад

Great question! Honestly I think it would be beneficial for you and your husband to have a conversation with a lender. Explain your finances and even without filling out a whole application, lenders can walk through some options with you so that you can determine together whether waiting to save up more money or buying sooner would be the best fit for your family! ☺️

I'm not sure I need cheerleading so much as I need to ask a question about my motivation. I feel that I need a house so that I don't have to pay rent after I retire, whenever that may be. I want a roof over my head that won't vanish when I'm no longer earning. My question is: is this a reasonable motivation? Is this a valid benefit to home ownership to function as a motivation?

As a recently divorced single mom. I was able to move back in with parents, save over 10k in 5 months and will be doubling that per month in 2024. I make 55k in Louisiana and a 3-4 bed new constructionhouse is 215k-259k in my parish. That doesn't include my yearly 5% rainse that goes in effect February 2024. I have 720 credit with no collections or late payments, truck paid off, & credit cards 0 balance. The median income in my parish 62k & thats for 2 income family. I do qualify for the new student loan forgiveness plan that goes into effect this February. If that works out I won't have to pay 25k in student loans. I can go straight to saving for a home. My parents let my 2yr old and I live here free They are empty nesters with 3 extra rooms who doesnt mind❤. I only pay my 5 bills and necessities totaling less than 1k a month. My goal is to save 100k or more to buy in 2025. That way, I can have my 20%, pay for any upgrades I want, buy new funiture afterwards, & still have a large savings without depleting everything for any emergencies.
