How can I get Kevin Jefferson number please?

[@liannli4584]

Mrs Hiils I see everything pertaining to first time home buyers but what about more experience buyers in 2023...is there a video for second, third, downsize, cash out, etc????

[@donnarochin1449]

Can you get denied if your bank statements show overdrafts every pay period?

[@tjayejefferson7296]

I am so mad! Listening to this has made me realize that I probably coud have reached my dream years ago. When I get off of this 285 parking lot, I'm applying. I'm sure that, due to recent events, I'll need a game plan...I'm one of the folk who is guilty of fearing the "hard inquiry." Smdh Thank you! I have never felt more informed and less confused about finally being able to buy my own home.

[@ShaheedahHill]

Awesome, you made my day. Make a plan and get it done☺️

I have watched a ton of videos on home buying (especially yours, Miss Shaheedah) leading up to purchasing this summer. This one right here ranks in the top 5!!! Going to go back and replay some key points. Video was detailed, yet concise and simple enough for us novices. Gonna check out Mr Kevin's content as well. Already got your Master Class and I'm working through that material. Going into this process, educated and with my eyes wide open. Thanks for all you do! 🙏

[@ShaheedahHill]

Thank you for your masterclass purchase. I hope you find it helpful! And thanks for your feedback on this video.

[@vena2g2006]

[@alexbutler6332]

I can't help but say what everyone here is saying. This was extremely informative. Pertinent veriety of questions with viable solutions. Inspires and gives me confidence. And for me, it shows that I'm in a better position to buy a home than I thought I was. I'm currently in the process of moving. Once I'm settled in my new location with consistent viable income again, I will begin the preapproval process. Can't wait nervously and excited. Thank you for your encouragement.

[@ShaheedahHill]

@alexbutler6332 Thank you for watching, I really appreciate the feedback. I wish I could make every potential first time homebuyer watch this😊

[@highvibrational2007]

Hey Shaheeda, I don't remember the mortgage lender stating whether you can use national and State DPA. That will be sweet! Also, he did not mention that you have to take a class BEFORE closing! This is why so many people end up using it! I got qualified... but now because of this interview, I'm gonna wait six months, then apply again, so it does not lower my score...i am literally debt free since PSLF canceled all of my student loans!....lol

[@ShaheedahHill]

A lot of times you cannot use both, congrats on you PSLF!

I will definitely being contacting Kevin to advise me on what I need to do put my best foot forward. As a former teacher, I would tell my kiddos....Education is the Key to Everything!

About a couple of years ago during covid, I went to a lender to see if I could get pre-approved and I had a score of 620. They denied me and told me I needed to be higher. Hearing all these stories and reading all the advice, it's safe to say I might of went to the wrong lender. Let me get $5 in my acc, lol jk jk knock on wood

But the thing about collections is it will damage your credit score significantly! I had a medical bill hit my credit and I went from a 780 to a 667 even though it was only 1600$ I refused to leave it on my credit and keep that low score when I could pay them and have it removed my credit shot right back up to where it was previously

[@ShaheedahHill]

If the collection is impacting you negatively then it does make sense to settle it, but many people have old collections on their credit that is not impacting them much anymore. Thanks for sharing and watching.

[@rochellehernandez1117]

@@ShaheedahHill thank you so much

[@StopSelfDoubting]

The problem is how do you find the right lender? Nobody wants a bunch of inquiries on their report if they keep getting denied or if their pre-approval expires. There’s still a bidding war going on. Are lenders looking to extend pre-approvals time frame to give shoppers more time to find the right house?

[@ShaheedahHill]

You shouldn't have to do more than one initially, you do one and see where you stand. You would really only do multiple when you are ready to buy. Thanks for watching.

Now days is dangerous and skeptical about applying on line nothing like going to the lenders office and also start creating a relationship that’s the reason many new buyers go straight to the Bank to apply for a mortgage loan

Miss Hill I am regular on your channel since I found it. I am satisfied with how you explain things. Here is my question. My realtor told me I was pre approved for a loan but when I saw the amount I ask him if he could ask the lender to upgrade the loan amount.He did but I did not find what I was looking for the loan was really small. After about a month of back and forth communication he told me good bye I want to ask you a question. What am I to I do now after my agent withdrew his hand? I contacted someone else but should I wait some months before starting a new application? Thanks for your explanations Lee up the good work.

[@ShaheedahHill]

First your lender and your Realtor should be 2 separate people. So your Realtor shouldn't be telling you that you are approved for a loan. Your lender should tell you that. I would wait, it sounds like there are not a lot of options at your price point. You want to spend sometime researching areas that you can afford and if you would want to live there, then re-apply when you are ready and find a new agent. @claudettealexander5204 Thanks for watching!
