When you said “I am a licensed real estate agent in the Seattle area” my heart filled with joy. So proud!

Congratulations! I can’t imagine how proud your parents must be of you girls and how much you achieve🥺 it’s so so inspiring 💗

Anyone else get chills hearing her officially say “I am a real estate agent” !!! It’s been such a long time coming, and to have followed you on the journey, since the beginning has been so fun! Congrats Monica!!

Extremely informative. If we were into financing a home, we would need to replay and freeze your video, often, to understand all the nickel-and-diming that’s going on. I guess if it’s something you really want, then it’s worth the investment, to understand all the nooks and crannies, involved.

This was a good high level description. I recommend you do a follow up FAQs on this or even do a series- topics to include could be PMI, realtor fees, the home inspection process...

I watch every single vlog and know that the backyard is pretty much done and the kitchen is the only big thing left but still watched this video and wow the house has come such a long way ❤️

Thank you! This has so much information, that first-time buyers don't know or understand! Even if you don't make a ton of money as an AirBnB, you still have a place to that's away from a lot of people and will grow in value

I’m nowhere near the stage in my life where I can afford to buy a house, but this video was beyond interesting! Always appreciate your transparency 🙂

Holy Crap, the US has so many extra fees added to buy a house. In Canada it isn’t that complicated. Pre-Approval, find a home, down payment, sign documents at bank for mortgage, and then pay lawyer 1500-2500 to make the legal transaction and voila home sweet home. We pay property taxes monthly but they can be added to your mortgage or paid every year.

You guys have done a great job with that house! I do predict, however, you going to miss that backyard patio overhang come summer. With the possibility of over 5 months of 100 degree plus weather, shade is a major commodity.

Watching the renovations is so fun!

Glad you are enjoying it!

I knew you two have done well financially, but I didn't expect that you were able to do a down payment that big 😬 I'm shook!

I love the "feel good" items you had in the living room. The coffee maker you bought months prior to buying the house with the dream that it was going in a house you knew in your heart you were going to buy

You deserve everything you've achieved! You and your sister both produce quality videos with so much well-prepared research backing each video up. You two are so inspirational!

I love how transparent you are. I hope you continue to make kind of videos!

i’m so happy for you and Shelby. i’ve been watching both of y’alls vlogs since you started renovating. i’m absolutely loving how it’s turning out!! you should take pride in how beautiful your home is becoming.

I've been watching your vlogs from the beginning of the whole Palm Springs project, and I've loved it! The whole journey has been so interesting to watch, I can't wait for the final effect! 💖💖💖

It’s crazy looking back at this footage and seeing how far the house has come 😄

Can't believe how different the house buying process is compared to hos it is in Sweden... America makes everything so expensive and complicated....

Can you make another video breaking down your renovation costs? Loving the nitty gritty details 🤓

Your editing, planning, and the way you put a video together is TOP NOTCH and UNMATCHED! I know you’ve been holding on to this footage for a HOT MINUTE. Yes, I watch the vlogs

I love how open you are with money😍 is so refreshing and honest

Real estate cannot be lost or stolen, nor can it be carry away. invest wisely. congratulations Monica.

I absolutely love your renovation vlogs on your second channel - I can't wait to see it all done but then also I'm gonna miss the vlogs hahaha

Love that you make these videos and include real numbers. Always gonna watch these vids 🙌🏼

Monica, I love your friendly/chatty presentations. This one is particularly entertaining as well as being informative about the financing and home purchasing process. Good work!

This is gonna sound so strange but I swear I stayed at this exact house for Coachella in like 2013ish. Love what you’re doing with it haha

We absolutely love that you are so transparent and open about your house buying experience! This is the kind of stuff they should be teaching in school because it is such a valuable real life scenario that many of us will encounter and need to know about! Thank you Monica!

I’m so glad you’re doing these videos I’m currently on the house hunt and learning all about programs and cost of ownership.

You sharing this stuff about your seattle house literally made me brave enough to do it myself... I'm so glad you do this!!

GO MON GO!!!!! Been here for about a year now, and it's been such a pleasure watching you grow and fulfill your dreams. You deserve this girl. One of the most level headed young people on this platform

Monica, you are providing such an informative service for first time homeowners with a simple explanation of costs. You are the best and I'm happy for you and your sister.

LOVED THIS VIDEO! Thank you for being so transparent about what things cost. I'm in a financial management course right now and the discount rate etc were all related to concepts I've been learning. You go girl!

The most informative buying-a-house video i have ever watched! Thank you for being so transparent

I'm really loving following the renovation on the vlogs

Hi Monica, I work for a private home mortgage company. You did a great job of breaking everything down and explaining the process. Congratulations on the new home 😊

I’ve loved following your and Shelby’s vlogs on your home reno. Thanks for sharing all these details!

Smart investment and really like what you're doing with the house.

I am loving this summary! So good to see both the vlogs and this condensed info!

These videos are so helpful; thank you Monica!

its crazy to be watching this while following the home renovation on your vlog channel! the backyard has changed so much, i totally forgot what it used to look like

I absolutely LOVE this video!!! Even though all of this is totally out of my price range it is SO helpful to see you break all the closing costs down like that. Especially including percentages because that made it so easy to get a comparison for my price range. I’m so excited for more real estate videos :)

Yasssss i really missed these kind of videos of you and shelby 🤩🤩 when you do these kind of videos it just feels so natural

Loved this video Monica and congratulations on being a real estate agent xxx

This is my favourite finance type video of yours because I'm so interested in the house renovations from your vlogs.

Love this video! I’m going to be looking to buy a house in the next year or two. Have you thought about doing a “things to look for when buying a house” or even a “how to buy a house” series? You explain things so well, and I always learn so much!! Congratulations’

I watch every vlog that you do and honestly the house is unrecognizable from where it is in vlogs which is crazy! I love how you showed everything in the video and congrats on being a real real estate agent!

Thanks for your transparency. You throw every idea very clear!

I can't wait to see the house finished. You guys have done such an amazing job. It's going to be a stunning Airbnb.

Please more info on how you were able to find, finance and follow through with buying a house! Love watching you, inspires me in my own journey to becoming a real estate agent.

This is such an informative video and I found it very helpfu! I can tell you really put a lot of work into making it. Thank you for sharing Monica!

You have to keep in mind. She bought this house with her sister. Everything is 50% off. The downpayment, closing costs, and more.

Imagine if the ceiling was stained super dark instead of white. That would look amazing

Great video, Monica! Super interesting and the editing... well 👏🏼👏🏼

Thank you for sharing all of this information in the video, it was very interesting and useful!

My bf and I bought our house: 3 bedroom, 2000 sqft in Arizona, $410,000 with 10% down. We recently refinanced from 3.75% down to 2.75%. Since we put less than 20% for a down payment, we have PMI but we were able to get that removed after doing some minor remodeling work and also with the appreciated value of our house. By putting less with our down payment, we had more money to remodel!

This video was amazing Monica , I enjoyed it so informative and I appreciate your for it and giving us so much information .

I can’t wait for your house big reveal of the finished touches y’all done amazing job on it ❤️😍👌

Property taxes where higher than I thought they would be! Keep up the good work.

So impressive! I have loved following along on the renovation vids!

Love this video!! Great job as always Monica

Omg looking at how the house looked before. Such an amazing change 😍 congrats girls!

Good stuff. I hope real estate and the ABnB "market" stays lucrative and you and your sister get to recoup and then some. Having just also somewhat recently bought my own home feels good. There's just something about owning those walls that makes one feel extra safe and secure.

Congratulations. This is super informative. Thank you

Congratulations on your new house, I'm sure it will be even more beautiful once renovated!! You're such an inspiration! Maybe put the toilet in the little room (washer / laundry room) so there'll be more space for the shower and cabinets/sink?

I love this so much! Thanks for sharing Monica!

Thank you for sharing this!!! My husband and I are currently in the home buying process & now we have a lot of things to keep an eye out for :)

Such a helpful video, thank you for being so up front about this!

ahhh i feel like i can appreciate this video a lot more since i've been watching your vlogs for months now!

Wow, the US is really expensive! All those fees and insanely high interest rates!

I really appreciate your transparency, it is very helpful to get an idea and I thank you for that. You do an amazing job!

Super helpful and informative! Thank you so much for sharing!

Congratulations on everything Monica! I remember when you asked if I should get your license and I was one of those people in the comments going Yes! Please do it! And u really did it It’s official 🥳😊

All the details are so helpful! Thank you!!

Never heard of homeowners insurance that is so expensive. Maybe because it’s California? Interesting!

I’ve seen every single vlog of yours from Palm Springs & have been there every step of the way, but I still enjoyed this video! Nice work!

CONGRATS MONICA!!!

Such a good video Monica, thank you for making it!! I've been working towards that goal of buying a home, hopefully I'll get there soon 😄

This was very interesting! I live in Finland so the process of buying a house is a bit different but what surprised me the most is the amount of different legas fees and other fees that are included in buying a house, there are so many!! 😂 In Finland the interest fee at the moment is about 0.5% so it's very low! 2.75% is normal but here it's considered high, at least for the time being.

This was such a great video Monica!

Great video, Monica!

I’m sure you’re already planning something like this but I’d love to hear a video on ALL the costs of the renovations, and what your new home value is!

The longer hair on you is lovely. Get more sponsors to help you with income for work on the Air-Stream in summer. We are so patiently here waiting for it.

YAY! So excited for this video

I think the 3-6% mostly comes from the fact that the average home price is a lower than your mortgages and most of the closing fees are a set amount. I’m closing on a 200k house in April and my closing costs are right at the 3% mark

This was SO helpful. Thank you!!

Thank you for the transparency on all of these costs! I learned a lot!

Congratulations cheering you on

Thank you so much for breaking this down! Your house looks great!

That’s awesome!! Don’t ever be ashamed of winning with money! Own it, you deserve it.

Love that Dad Church was in the video!

AMAZING VIDEO! you and Shelby make amazing content :)

Thank you for being so open. Congratulations on home #2

This is such an informative video! Enjoyed it a lot

Congratulations, and thank you for the info!

Thank you so much for doing this video!! I learned so so much!

Great video Monica, so informative 👌

Wow you can really see all the great changes you have made to the house. Hopefully you can do some before/after videos too. Your passion for real estate is obvious in this video 👍

I just learned more information that I can actually apply to my life than I did in school
