    My husband and I brought our first home back in June 23. I still love watching your videos even tho I’m a home owner now so that I can spread tips to my family members or friends that are looking to buy. It’s so funny how your first tip is buying a grandma house. We did that and it was such a good deal for a good amount of house. The previous owner was a widower who couldn’t afford to upkeep the house anymore with just her income. Yes it needs updates but we love being able to customize and update as we are able to.

    Insurance is very much a rip off and goes up, just like taxes can. Take it from a homebuyer already. There is definitely a lot you should consider. It definitely is at, or more then it costs to rent when you buy. When people use to say it’s cheaper to buy that simply just isn’t true anymore.

    I love this channel. Thanks for the download. I enjoyed your video on the DSCR loan as an option. The information on this type of funding gives me hope. However, if I don't go this route and decide upon a conventional loan are there any exceptions to having to be on your job for 2 years? I landed a full-time time but have not reach the 2 year mark yet.

  • @ShaheedahHill

    @ShaheedahHill

    7 ай бұрын

    Yes, there are exceptions but it really depends on what you were doing prior to your current employment. If you were in school, your school will count as you 2 year work history, so you can buy a house right out of college for example. If you were only working part-time prior then they may have you wait 2 years. But by all means speak with a lender to see for sure. Thanks for watching.

    Hi Shaheedah, I have a question. I just watched your video explaining the escrow account from a few years back. Say you have a shortage, but also wants to start paying extra towards your principal. My question is would you pay the shortage to avoid the increase in payments. Or use the shortage amount and apply it towards the principal and just deal with the increase in your mortgage payment. Because what I’ve noticed from sending in my shortage, my mortgage still goes up. Not as much as if I didn’t send it in, but it still went up. Thank you for the videos you produce, because they are explained well.

    I gave you a link to my points video in another reply, watch that it will help in that area. You need to ask for 3 loan estimates from the 3 lenders, give the lenders an address that you find on Zillow that is in your price range and in the area that you want to live in, so they can estimate the taxes. Then compare the 3, you are paying the most attention to rate and fees, everything else will be the same between lenders, like taxes for example since the municipality that you are in decides on the tax rate not the lender. @scholarlypursuitz690 Thanks for watching!

    Its negotiable with the builder, but it really depends on what is in your contract regarding delays. Many times the builder will protect themselves by limiting their liability in the contract if the building process is delayed. However, each builder is different and some may be flexible and offer a credit if for example, you have to extend a rate lock and that may cost...they may give a credit for that. @jrican4371 Thank you for watching
