Cut 7 YEARS off your mortgage payment with this one simple trick! Take your regular mortgage payment, cut it in half, and pay that amount bi-weekly INSTEAD OF monthly like normal. For example, if your mortgage payment is $1500 a month, go ahead and pay $750 this week, and then another $750 in two weeks. When you pay your mortgage bi-weekly instead of monthly, you actually end up making an extra payment each year, decreasing the amount of interest associated with your loan and building equity faster. #DanHamiltonRealEstate #HamiltonandCo #yeahthatgreenville #greenvillerealestate #gvlrealtor #greenvillesc #exploregvl #rentorbuy #marketupdate #realestate101 #interestrates #interestrate #homeownership #mortgagepayment #mortgagehacks #financing101 #firsttimehomebuyer

Gen Z is winning the real estate game! Over 26% of Gen-Z adults have taken advantage of the post-COVID real estate boom, more than any other generation! To compare, the rate of homeownership among 24 y/o Millennials was 24.5% and 23.5% for Gen Xers. Gen Z is setting themselves up for success by buying real estate early and building equity over time. The longer you own real estate, the more wealth you can build. Ready to get started on your real estate journey?

My favorite Greenville neighborhoods as a realtor who's lived here most of my life... 1️⃣ North Main This is where I bought my very first home! The neighborhood is diverse - there are affordable options and also very high-end options. 2️⃣ Botany Woods Botany Woods was one of Greenville's first "suburbs" and it offers everything from quaint ranches to sprawling estates. 3️⃣ Hartness If I had an unlimited budget, the first place I'd go is Hartness. Located on the eastside of Greenville, this former family estate has been transformed into a thoughtful community with some amazing amenities. Where are your favorite Greenville neighborhoods?

What is a Self-Directed Roth IRA? These retirement fund accounts are held individually and can be utilized in a lot of ways traditional IRAs cannot! ➡️ To get started, all you have to do is call the big-box brokerage holding your retirement funds and let them know you want to transfer to a self-directed company. I use Horizon Trust and I love working with them! Now that you've moved your funds, how can you use them? Here's a couple ways... 1️⃣ Invest passively in short-term real estate projects right here in the Upstate (I talk more about this in a previous video) 2️⃣ Set up a checkbook LLC. This allows you to own and control real estate outright. 🤷 Love the idea of a Self-Directed Roth IRA to kickstart your retirement plan, but still don't know how to get started? Reach out! I'd be happy to walk you through the process. And don't forget to follow me @hamiltonandco for more real estate and investing advice. #MyGreenvilleHome #DanHamiltonRealEstate #HamiltonandCo #greenvillerealestate #gvlrealtors #investing101 #investmenttips #realestateinvesting #greenvillesc

🙅 Avoid these 3️⃣ mistakes if you are thinking about downsizing in the future! 1️⃣ Not preparing EMOTIONALLY for your move Moving is always an emotional process, and can be especially emotional when you are downsizing. Downsizing you home often means downsizing your personal possessions too, and whether you've been in your current home for 3 years or 30, that can be a surprisingly emotional process. Preparation is key. 2️⃣ Not thinking long term When downsizing, it is important to consider not just what you want now, but also what you will need in the future. Pay special attention to community amenities and proximity to friends and family when considering a downsize. 3️⃣ Not preparing financially Often, it is assumed that a downsize will save you money, and maybe it will in the long run! But moving itself is expensive - it often involves paying for storage, movers, and new furniture, not to mention the cost associated with purchasing the home itself. Be prepared financially for all those little things that add up. You can easily avoid these mistakes (and more) when you partner with a trusted, experienced real estate agent. At Hamilton & Company, we create a custom plan for our clients who are downsizing, helping them not just find the perfect home but also navigate the entire process, start to finish.

🔨 New Construction or 🏡 Existing Home? Which should you pick?! New Construction 💰 The upfront cost may be a bit higher, but builders are willing to help with rate buydowns, closing cost assistance, and other incentives. 📐 New construction is built to modern standards, which often means new construction will be more energy efficient and more temperature regulated (read: cheaper energy bills and less maintenance!). Existing Homes 🌳 Existing homes often have sought-after amenities including mature landscaping, larger lots, and more established areas. Whichever home type you prefer, the BEST advice I can give you is to sit down with a real estate agent you trust, review your wishlist, and let them guide you to a community that best fits your needs.

What is it about SC that's attracting residents from Florida (and the rest of the US)? Quality of Life The Carolinas are family-friendly place to live with a slower pace of life than you'll find in many other parts of the country. We're friendly here! Folks will say "hi" to a stranger on the street here, and a lot of out-of-state residents have been surprised by this. Cost of Living A lot of Floridians I'm talking to say Florida is getting more expensive. Property taxes and especially homeowners insurance is through the roof right now! The Carolinas offer a more affordable way of life. Location and Climate In South Carolina, we have all four seasons, a great climate, and convenient access to both mountains and beaches.

Debt beats inflation?! Let me explain... Inflation means that the cash sitting in your pocket is losing value every day. Debt -- specifically strategic debt in real estate -- is the answer! Let's say you take out a real estate loan with a $1500/mo payment. That loan is locked in for a specific set of time -- often 30 years. That means 30 years from now, you're still paying $1500, which will be worth much less then! 1) Paying the bank back in dollars that are worth less (then when you initially took out the loan) combined with the 2) appreciation on your property that you will see over time together will help you BEAT inflation! Strategic debt in real estate is by far one of the most effective ways to fight inflation. Beat inflation, grow your net worth, and build wealth in any economy -- as a seasoned investor and real estate agent, I can help you get started!

Turn your home from "Just Listed" to "MOST Wanted" with these simple tips... 1️⃣ Don't pass the buck and leave your "honey do" list for the new owners! Go ahead and knock that out this weekend!! Yes, those projects that you've been putting off. If you see them when you walk around your house, you can bet potential buyers will too. 2️⃣ Address big ticket items. HVAC, roof, and other big repairs need to be handled before you go on the market. Whoever's buying your home will perform an inspection and find these issues. Unless you plan to account for the cost of the repair in your final sale price, it's a good idea to take care of it before listing. 3️⃣ Upgrade without breaking the bank. Paint, new light fixtures, and updated doorknobs are all examples of cost-effective updates that will make a BIG difference in your home's first impression. BONUS Before you do all that, be sure to call a real estate agent to come take a look at your house. They'll walk through your home room by room, offering high ROI improvements to make (and a few upgrades you should NOT invest in) before listing that are unique to your home.
