Home Values With Brent

I had the opportunity to grab coffee with my friend John Hatch the other day. John is a broker, and I was encouraged by how he helps his clients with All In One Loans and reverse mortgages. If you are a realtor or looking to buy a home, then I strongly encourage contacting John. He has a great heart and will take care of you.

Let me know if I can help in any way to make that connection. Here is the website that will provide more information https://allinoneloan.com/.

All In One It is a 30-year HELOC with an integrated sweep-checking account. In other words, it combines your home financing and personal banking needs into one dynamic tool.

John 18:37

Then Pilate said to him, “So you are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this purpose I was born and for this purpose I have come into the world—to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.”

I created a video about a month ago and a friend Matt, who is a teacher, watched it. My friend felt hope after watching the video because he was unaware that you could report rental payments.

This was a way my friend could keep score and better himself. He has been a lifetime renter and has never gained credit for this significant expense each month.

I find it hard to believe that 10, 30, or 50 points short on your credit score could hinder you from acquiring a loan, and all along you have been faithful to pay rent and never received those points.

The question to ponder does a lack of rental payments being reported ultimately affect the investor, property manager, landlord, lender, realtor, and tenant.

One thing we have learned from sports is that scoring motivates!

The investor and property manager would see less debt. The lender and realtor would close more deals. The tenant would be more motivated and accountable for making the payment due to scoring. Touchdown!!!

I will be posting this video tomorrow and encourage you to watch my friend share his experience!

Check out my new video this Wednesday on catching a vision for coming out of debt. We all need that Financial GPS that will give us the directions to reach our end goal of freedom from debt.

Life has a tendency to pull oneself in many different directions. We each need an internal GPS that will help us not be so easily moved.

We all feel the effects of the credit bureaus and most of us don’t know how they score. How is it possible the credit bureaus could have different scores? Should you report your rent to the credit bureaus? This Wednesday afternoon I will answer these questions and more on my new video. Stay tuned...

A pocket listing is a home that's for sale but isn't publicly listed. A real estate agent shows the home to potential buyers privately rather than immediately putting it on the public-facing Multiple Listing Service, or MLS.

A pocket listing is not the same as a "coming soon" listing. "Coming soon" is simply a designation that a home is not yet listed but will be on the market in the near future.

Is a pocket listing illegal?

Pocket listings are not illegal, but they're certainly frowned upon. The National Association of Realtors, which is the largest professional organization for real estate agents in America, effectively banned pocket listings in 2019. According to the NAR handbook, "Within one business day of marketing a property to the public, the listing broker must submit the listing to the MLS for cooperation with other MLS participants."The NAR cracked down on pocket listings in order to ensure cooperation among real estate agents (making all agents' listings widely available) and fuel competition (giving all buyers a chance at a listing and sellers the opportunity to get the best price).

However, some agents bend the rules in order to comply with NAR guidelines but still keep a listing to themselves. NAR policy says that listings must be added to the MLS within one business day of signing the listing contract with the seller. If the seller signs with a listing agent on a Friday, the agent can take advantage of the weekend to have as much as 72 hours to privately market the property.

It was 8 days ago that I started a 90-Day Journey! I am 50 years of age and face many deep wounds, disappointments, and my own failures in life. I am not interested in accomplishing or doing anything without Jesus (John 15:5, Philippians 4:13). I am more and more recognizing my heart is numb, callous, hard, and wounded in many ways. I have known this but struggled with understanding how Jesus could get down into my core to set me free. It is as if I have a veil that covers my heart and it keeps out others and God to protect myself. I also understand that my life is a microcosm of the church and our nation. We are just like Israel during the days of Nehemiah (Nehemiah 1:3), a broken nation, with our walls being broken down and gates burned with fire. It was a picture of the true state of the people.
I normally drink my coffee out of a stainless steel mug from Starbucks. I like my coffee to be at least warm for a couple of hours. The morning I started this journey, 8 days ago, I had a desire to drink out of a coffee mug with a handle. I normally don't like it that way because it gets cold too fast. I never do this in my own home. That morning I was stirred to do it. I grabbed one mug and did not see what was on it. When I pulled it out, it said journey on it with Jeremiah 29:11. I started to praise God. I could hear Papa say, "Brent, I am with you on this 90-Day Journey." You can't make this stuff up! My God is a God of relationship and one part of His mission is to fill us with the Father's love so we no longer think we are an orphan but know we are a child of the Most High.
I am sharing this with whoever chooses to read it. It is vulnerable and transparent! I want to give others hope because I know that I am not alone. I can't wait till I can share the major breakthroughs of what my God is gonna do. I can already see God at work. I love you! Amen.

Jesus is the only one true God. He is the only one who had a passport to enter the world. The passport was his bellybutton. His bellybutton means He came in the flesh. This is why He is the Son of God and Son of Man. 1 John 4:2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God 💡

Beautiful things happen in your life when you distance yourself from all the negative things. Unhappiness comes in many shades of gray. Sometimes people just lack joy. While depression, and other psychological diseases, are certainly a clinical illness and should not be minimized, there are also factors that contribute to feeling down that you can influence.

I see people everywhere wanting to change the world and that's cool. But why not start by helping one person first. Because helping one person will change that person's world in ways you couldn't imagine.

✔If you try to chase a cat it will always run away from you, but if you have what the cat wants it will come to you. Attack the cat! Well, don't actually attack, replace the cat for the money! Don't just chase it, be smart about it!
