Considering adding Real Estate to your investment portfolio? Here's two interesting things you might not know:
- Having a property manager is a great way to ensure both your tenants and yourself are protected. They can serve as a great mediator, or even just as a safety buffer for when you're out of town!
- Say something happens to your newly rented out property. If it is 100% uninhabitable then tenants don’t have to pay rent for the time their place is inhabitable, but landlords aren’t required to find them a temporary place or pay for it either. This is a common misconception!

If a new house is on your shopping list this holiday season, give me a call! 🤩 We've had some amazing properties popping up in the Central Florida area in the last few weeks (including some with waterfront views and access!) and I'd love the opportunity to share them with YOU! ✨

Happy Thanksgiving!! 💙 🦃
I hope you're all getting to have a wonderful day, whether you're spending it with family (chosen or not) or simply enjoying some time to yourself. I'm over with my daughter in chilly Denver, enjoying some much needed family time.

✨ Market Update ✨

Inventory for October was recorded at 7,813, up 9.6% from last year and 15.6% from September - when inventory was recorded at 6,758. This is the seventh
month in a row inventory has risen and the largest monthly percentage increase in 2023 so far.
October’s interest rate was recorded at 7.8%, up from 7.3% in September. This is the highest interest rate in the Orlando area since
April 2001. Even as rates climb, demand is keeping home prices high, creating
challenges for buyers this fall. Early reports from November show rates falling, so we will have to wait and see if this offers buyers
some reprieve.
New listings fell 2.5% from September to October, with 3,456 new homes on the market in October, compared to 3,545 in September.

Questions or concerns about the market? Shoot me a call, text or DM! I'm always happy to help answer 💙

Black Friday, the shopaholics heaven for people across America. But, what if you're wanting to get the most bang for your buck?
There's a lot of speculation about the best updates/ reno's/ upgrades to do to your house before selling. Here's our suggestions, as well as stores where you can get your supplies on the low this Friday (and thru the weekend for most stores)

🎨 A fresh coat of paint! You'd be surprised how much a quick, fresh coat of paint can really spruce up a home and make it more appealing. Sherwin Williams is offering $20 off an $80 purchase of their paint in-store or online, or you can head over to your local Lowes- they've got additional Black Friday discounts on Valspar paint and more.
🐶 Refresh carpets and remove odors. We all love our dogs, and the rest of our pets - but accidents happen, and they can leave some unsightly stains on carpets. If you have a membership, head on over to Costco to get $60 off the Bissell ProHeat Pet Pro Carpet Cleaner to make your carpets look brand new again.
🔨 Declutter! The biggest thing you want potential Buyers to be able to do, is envision themselves in your home. That can be really hard to do if there's a lot of clutter and excess around the home. Walmart and Ikea both have sales on storage units this week, or you can head over to Home Depot where they have those huge storage totes on sale also.

What are you shopping for this weekend? Do you have your eye on anything specific? 🛒🛍

I'm dreaming of a ....... phone call with you where we can both celebrate your offer being accepted! 🥳
I know the real estate market can seem kind of scary lately, but it doesn't have to be! That's why I surround myself with my amazing Lender team and amazing Closing team- to make sure your experience goes above and beyond the whole time!

For more than 79 years, Veterans Affairs (VA) home loans have helped millions of veterans buy their own homes. If you or someone you care about has served in the military, it’s essential to learn about this program and its advantages!

Here are some important things to know about VA loans before you buy a home.
- VA home loans provide a pathway to homeownership for those who have served our nation, and they’re a great benefit for buyers who qualify.
- Options for No Down Payment: Qualified borrowers can often purchase a home with no down payment. That’s a huge weight lifted when you’re trying to save for a home.
- Limited Closing Costs: There are limits on the types of closing costs you pay when you qualify for a VA home loan. So, more money stays in your pocket when it’s time to seal the deal.
- Don’t Require Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI): Many other loans with down payments under 20% require PMI. VA loans do not, which means veterans can save on their monthly housing costs.

Give us a message, text or call to learn about the VA Program and more that might be able to help you on your home search.
