Congrats on buying your first house 🏠. I bought my first house at 25. Now I’m 27 and own two houses. I’m closing on my third house July 22nd. It’s addicting when you realize how quickly you can build your wealth through real estate. I started my channel to educate others how to do the same.

[@LexisShantell]

So awesome and congratulations 🎉

I am realtor in Florida and I notice more young people buying homes. The youngest is 18 years old, and he purchased summer 2019. Congratulations!

[@SPOKENWORDZ1970]

Because when I was younger people would often tell us ohhh you don't need a house now...you wait until you have a family... you know that conditioning of the mind mentality. Had I known then everything I know now... I probably would have had about five houses renting them out

[@deliadarling257]

What is DTI?

[@vkfanatic]

@@deliadarling257 Debt to income.

[@linwilliams2013]

If you don’t mind me around. About how much in savings did you have to have. Not an estimate amount if you don’t feel comfortable but a ball park would be helpful

[@VanessaSanchez]

@@linwilliams2013 how much you need will depend on your income, debt, and cost of the house you’re buying. With that being said we actually had better days with our savings than when we decided to buy (just had a baby a 8 months prior and took some time off) we had about $12,000 probably. We only put down $3K on the house for earnest money to close. Don’t believe the “you need 20% for the down payment” that’s not true. Your mortgage officer will tell you if they want you to have a certain amount down but mostly that 20% thing is coming from people who want to be smart but it’s not a requirement. We were spending way too much renting and buying saved us a ton that would of took forever to get to 20% paying and we now we can throw more money into the mortgage as well to pay off sooner.

[@Arin.-.]

I wanna do this bc like you said renting is more expensive. What’s holding me back is not knowing if I could pay unforeseen house repairs. My savings is not a lot👀

U guys r lucky in America well some states that I see anyway..at 22 I just finished university and had a daughter bless you I always thought u can buy a house when u settled in late 20s. Just turnt 30 and about to buy my own house too...In the UK we need 10% and in London our house prices r no joke. I decided to move out of London and now the UK introduced 5%for first time buyers so I've got that cash and more. I'm gonna buy me and my kids a home now and I came across this video. Bless you!! I dont even know you never watched a video but well done to you... buy another one rent it out travel girl and come back amazing!!!

Buying is a great choice for those young people that KNOW they'll be working and living at one home for years. Selling isn't always easy. Whereas an apartment will be much easier to move out of within a year max. Congrats on your new home!!!!

My husband and I just started the process of buying a new build. You were not lying about the different people and phone calls. I cant keep up. We are suppose to close in late August or early September 2020. I'm excited. The only regret I have is not doing this sooner when we were younger. Now 17 1/2 years in about to buy our first home.

For my first place I will be buying a home. A lot of the apartments are only $100 less a month than a mortgage. Utilities may not be included but it’s so worth it for a house.

[@LexisShantell]

You’re exactly right

[@PlainAndChelsea]

I want to buy a house myself but I had no idea 1% was a down payment option! Always thought I had to have like 20k saved up and was dreading living at home forever! Now I have hope!

[@LexisShantell]

ChelseaVictoria I should have clarified : I paid 1% to the builder just to put it under contract and “hold it “ but total put 3.5% down since I’m a first time buyer (the more you can put down the better though to have lower monthly payments )! I’m expecting my next house will prob end up having to be in the 20% down range

[@PlainAndChelsea]

Oh okay!! Thank you for clarifying lol

I live with my parents right now as I finish up with college, but I am trying to decide whether I want to rent or buy when I move out. Prior to moving back home, I lived on my own in an apartment for over 3 years and when I added up what I paid in those 3 years; it was over $17,000 living there. In my opinion it is such a waste, because I was helping someone else when I could have been helping myself. Now, my dilemma is where would I want to live more than 3 years if I do purchase a home. I love your video!

[@Xolanidj]

This is so excellent! When I was 22, I had ZERO intentions on purchasing a home, or really owning anything worthwhile. I probably made every bad financial decision except for getting a payday loan. In fact, the only reason I didn’t get a payday loan was because I was in the military, and it had just become illegal for those lenders to do business with us! But for real, I am happy to see young folks making better financial decisions these days, and it is awesome that you are sharing the essential information. Oh yeah, I’ll be buying my first home no later than a year from now, at 34 years old.

caramelized sugar 1.2 mil just as an example. A bit inflated but obviously not every home in NY is priced at 1.2 mil. Side not though some homes in areas considered Brooklyn hoods are being priced that high(gentrification). But in general NY is expensive it’s a regurgitated fact.

The reason they asked for documentation for your deposits is to ensure that there isn’t a loan that needs to be repaid that isn’t showing on your credit, the same with any large withdrawals, to make sure there isn’t a debt out there that their not aware of, the diploma and transcripts were likely for employment history if you haven’t worked a full two years

KZbin has a lot of helpful videos on the home buying process. Everyone process and amounts are going to be different because of different incomes and locations.

[@kilosofkalia]

MsToya thanks, but it would still help, therefore if she truly wants to help, she can tell us her income and credit score as well, telling either or would not hurt her in any way, seeing that it’s not a social security number, home address, or bank account & routing number lol.

[@kilosofkalia]

MsToya and I do get that there may be differences but that’s like telling me not to do my APR work when learning because those APRS don’t apply to my life, ya know? it would definitely give you an idea of what to look forward to.

[@carmkizzle]

This is soooo inspiring!! Congratulations!!!! I've been renting for 7 yrs its a HUGE waste of money!! I didn't know what I know now! Thank you for inspiring young women & young minorities ❤😊

Thank you 🥰

Renting is definitely not a waste of money. Unless you pay the house off when you first buy you still will be making monthly payments to the bank. Renting gives you wiggle room to do stuff. If something breaks down in your house then you have to cover that yourself. Whether you choose to rent or pay a mortgage is completely up to you.

you really made buying a home at a young age seem so less far fetched and im interested🤔 though i think i’ll be renting first to acclimated on my own i believe buying a home can be in my near future rather than like 30 lol

Yes ma’am!!!
