Owning vs. Renting: 3 Similarities & 3 Differences
Trying to decide between buying a home or renting? Both options have their pros and cons! Here’s a quick breakdown to help you weigh your decision:
Similarities:
Provides a roof over your head: This is the main goal, no matter which path you choose!
Requires monthly payments: You’ll have a recurring cost each month, either rent or mortgage.
Needs maintenance: Upkeep is necessary, whether it’s fixing a leaky faucet as a renter or mowing the lawn as a homeowner.
Differences:
Financial investment: Buying builds equity, while rent goes towards the landlord’s investment.
Flexibility: Renting allows you to move easily, while buying ties you to a location (usually for several years).
Customization: Homeowners can modify their space (with permission!), while renters typically have limitations.
What’s right for you? It depends on your lifestyle and goals. Consider your financial situation, how long you plan to stay in one place, and how important customization is to you.

Let’s talk Taxes and Insurance:
Factor in Potential Cost Increases When Budgeting for Your Home Purchase
While calculating your monthly housing budget, remember that property taxes and homeowners insurance premiums are likely to rise alongside your home's value, especially for new constructions. Don't base your decision solely on the current monthly payment.
Here's why:
* Rising Property Taxes and Insurance: As your home's value appreciates, you can expect your property taxes and insurance premiums to increase as well. This is because these costs are often based on a percentage of your home's assessed value.
* Budgeting for Potential Increases: To avoid surprises, factor in a potential increase of $500 to $1500 for future property taxes and insurance premiums. This is especially important if you're buying in a high-appreciation area.
* Example: Let's say your current monthly payment is $1375, which includes a $125 monthly insurance premium. If your premium and property taxes increase by $133 per month within 1-3 years of buying the house, your total monthly payment would increase to $1508.
By considering these potential cost increases, you can create a more realistic budget for your home purchase and ensure you're financially prepared for the long term.

Key steps to get you started with the home-buying journey:
Financial Preparation:
💰Assess your readiness: Are you financially stable with a steady income? Owning a home comes with extra costs besides the mortgage, like property taxes and maintenance.
📈Budget and affordability: Determine how much you can realistically afford to spend on a house. Consider factors like your down payment, monthly mortgage payment, property taxes, homeowners insurance, and potential maintenance costs.
📈Improve your credit score: A higher credit score qualifies you for an array loan options with lower financing costs.
Getting Pre-Approved:
👍🏾Shop for a mortgage lender: Research different lenders and compare terms.
💪🏾Get pre-approved for a mortgage: This shows sellers you’re a serious buyer and strengthens your offer.

Breakdown of the Teacher Next Door Grant
Product Talk Ep. 2 - Teacher Next Door Teacher Next Door Program - What is it?
Are you a first-time homebuyer struggling to come up with a down payment?
Down payment assistance programs may be able to help. These programs can provide a loan or grant to put towards your down payment, making homeownership more accessible. However, there are some downsides to consider. Some programs may come with restrictions on the type of home you can purchase or require you to pay back the assistance under certain circumstances.
Additionally, the extra debt from a loan could impact your ability to qualify for a mortgage or impact your monthly payments. Be sure to do your research and weigh the pros and cons before deciding if down payment assistance is right for you.

Stop being irresponsible and start investing your money 💰 in commercial real estate!
Then use your assets to pay for your liabilities.
Think about this:
If you invest in a residential property with a residential loan the most amount of units you can get are 4 and possible for anyone who plays spades ♠️ 🤣 so let’s say the mortgage is $3000/month and the rent on each unit is $2000/month on a year lease so you gross $8000/month and you net $5000/month which is $60,000/year that’s not including any utilities, maintenance, taxes or insurance.
Now let’s get into a commercial property profits let’s say you get 4 commercial units let’s say your mortgage is $8000/month and rent on each unit is $5000/month so that’s $20,000/month gross and you net $12,000/month which is $144,000/year and with commercial real estate you can require your tenants to pay the taxes, insurance and maintenance.
Which one sounds like a better deal to you? What would you do with an extra $144,000 a year?
