Can you do a video on good homebuilders. We are about to build with one & Im praying we choose wisely!!

[@elizabethc.3046]

A very helpful video for first-time buyers. What is the best neighborhood in Columbus for first-time homebuyers that also want the best public schools possible? Thanks!

[@LivingtheColumbusWay]

I would start with school districts focusing on Westerville, Gahanna, Licking, Reynoldsburg, Hamilton, Grove City and Hilliard/Lincoln Village.

[@moneybee]

Really insightful video! It's great learning the differences between different parts of the country! Well done!

[@LivingtheColumbusWay]

moneybee glad you enjoyed it!

[@fernandaalmendra6505]

Great!! It’s nice to be possible to give around 5% and buy a house more like what you want instead 20% and be frustrated!

[@LivingtheColumbusWay]

Absolutely!!

Great video. I havent heard of Ofaa before and I'll have to look into it. Any tips for buying in Cbus during this pandemic? Most houses we look at go in 3-4 days before we can even view them. People put offers in without going in person

[@LivingtheColumbusWay]

Thank you! Yes it’s a competitive market for sure. First thing, work w a lender who can close FAST! Second, don’t wait, go see the house immediately if you can. Third, work with a realtor who is well versed w the contract...you can craft non-price terms that Sellers really love.

Retiring in the next five years and planning to move family back home to Columbus. What do you think the housing market will look like in the next five years and what percent interest rate you think it will be? Also will using cash to pay points to get lower rate on a VA recommended

[@LivingtheColumbusWay]

I really have no idea what interest rates will be, but can tell that if they go up, asset prices will fall accordingly.

[@Thegracefulmamato3]

What’s your intake for first time home buyers out of state?

[@LivingtheColumbusWay]

Hello, I'm sorry but just seeing this. Please feel free to reach out my contact info is in the description. Cheers

[@kahleesaangelofthenight2895]

U need alot for no reason! It isn't la or ny to account for the price! There is no draw to require the big price tag! I have a MBA barely can afford 1 bedroom apt which are at 1k now!

[@LivingtheColumbusWay]

Rent has definitely gone up. I would recommend you explore a purchase or even a house hack. I did a video on house hacking if you want me info. It's a fantastic strategy. I'll be you can get a screaming deal in NY right now...people are bailing.

[@efremberaki1464]

[@LivingtheColumbusWay]

[@fredz6090]

Is a person with low income can buy a house?

[@LivingtheColumbusWay]

Absolutely!

[@johnkaylor7205]

If you have school age children you don't want to live in Columbus, the schools are terrible. You want live in a city around Columbus, these are much better. Working in Columbus however is okay, you just don't want to live there. Unlelss you are a Democrat then its tolerable for the time being.

[@LivingtheColumbusWay]

We live and work right within city limits and have had an amazing experience here the last ten years, however it's not for everyone.....in general the suburbs are going to have better schools, less crime and newer homes.

[@thelegacyofgaming2928]

So I should save 20k then. Will do

[@LivingtheColumbusWay]

There may be some legislation coming out approving first time buyers with a $15k grant to be used at closing.
