She Almost LOST Her Home! Brooklyn NYC House Tour! Bushwick Brownstone w/2 Apartments Knowing Home

[@NyasiaC]

So thankful my former colleague was so candid about her experience. She had a couple of bumps in the road, but ultimately her calculated risk has paid off BIG TIME!

[@michellesmith8912]

Good for her- congratulations. How much of the utilities did she pay and what utilities do you two recommend tenants pay monthly or charge a flat fee for water, heat and electricity?

[@eet6067]

After renovation will she sell it in the Future?

[@NyasiaC]

@@michellesmith8912 utilities are normally separated for each unit. Tenants pay their own gas and electric. Landlord pays heat + water. Can vary depending on size of home.

[@NyasiaC]

@@eet6067 I surely hope not. Just refinance to take out equity and purchase another property.

Love to see black women living their life! She has a beautiful and spacious home.

[@NyasiaC]

It's going to be gorgeous once she's done renovating!

[@barbr100]

Would love to see updates as she renovates that beautiful home.

I'm so glad she was able to keep her house. Now it's a "diamond in the rough", but a goldmine

[@NyasiaC]

Yes, the return on investment is insane!

This was so inspiring. Sadly I did loose my home to foreclosure, but I know that God will provide another opportunity. Thank for helping to keep us motivated.

Never sell!! Im with you and Im soo happy to see her winning!

I know damn well I’m not bugging. I thought I was tripping at first lol, but the bedroom def confirmed it. I stayed in this Airbnb before lol. How funny is life. I came across this vid randomly, and I’m moving back to Brooklyn in 2 days. Is this the universes’ way of giving me it’s blessing to make this change 🤔???

[@NyasiaC]

WOW, that is an amazing coincidence. I think the signs are quite clear!

[@__ritanicole__1734]

so happy she was able to keep her house, I pray the renovation process goes smooth and she is able to continue to increase the value of her home

[@j.k.3]

So happy this Queen is winning. Gentrification has changed the area so much and made it unattainable for many to stay in their neighborhood and own. So nice to see this. Looking forward to her reno update🖤🖤🖤.

[@christylshedd2570]

Her brownstone is huge. Love the plans she has for it. Her tenants will never want to leave with all the new upgrades. 💗💗💗💗💗

[@NyasiaC]

Her tenants are very lucky, prices in the neighborhood are much higher than what she is charging them for sure!

[@kishapaul6744]

Remember visiting her house years ago when I was younger. Sure do remember she almost lost her home. Nice to see she is still making it work. Keep your head up.

[@fstaff9345]

So inspiring. I wish her the absolute best with her home. It is challenging out here for single homeowners & even moreso for Black single homeowners. I am also glad she found good tenants. Why people are allowed to stay somewhere without paying for months on end pisses me off.

[@NyasiaC]

So glad she’s deciding to stay in her home and not sell.

Please never ever EVER sell your home! I have heard horror stories of people loosing their homes. I said a prayer for you during this video. So happy you still have it! I pray to own a home of my own 1 day.🙏🏿

Lover her strategy of leveraging her home and making passive income from it! It’s like living in a house while other people are paying it for you

[@NyasiaC]

Absolutely. So happy she was able to find a way to keep her property! It is now worth so much more!

Great backyard space! Planting a garden would be perfect. Catnip, Rosemary and Bee Balm help keep bugs away.

[@dreamchaser5758]

Enjoyed this video. I appreciate her (didn't catch her name my apologies) willingness to share. It was also enlightening to hear her perspective..."treated the property as an investment". Sometimes retaining ownership is the name of the game as opposed to over leveraging the home making extravagant repairs.

[@NyasiaC]

Her name is Sheila Shavonne. I’m so happy she felt comfortable sharing her story as it’s important for us to remember the path to success is not a straight like always trending upwards. It gets bumpy, but if we stick with it..we can see it through!

[@jyae7777]

Wait, how do u get approved for a 800k loan on a 40k salary? Does she have other assets or something? Otherwise that seems straight up impossible.

[@NyasiaC]

It was during the time of stated income loans. These type of approvals were the backbone of the crash of 2008. Luckily, she was able to remodify her loan and keep her house. So many others lost their homes.

[@InternetGirl1093]

I would love to know what her down payment amount was! I am 27 and not originally from NYC, but make a good income ($120k) and have lived here for 5 years now. I am starting to think about saving to buy something, but buying a townhouse or brownstone in NYC (heck, even an apartment here!) seems so daunting. As a young black woman, I would love any advice or info people have on how much I would need to save. If her brownstone was $600k, did she do a 20% down payment of $120k?! How would it have been possible on her teacher's salary? Just good saving practices? Thanks in advance for any tips or help!

[@NyasiaC]

She bought her home almost 15 years ago when mortgage practices were not as "ethical". She received 100% financing. Those types of loans are not possible now, however you would be able to buy using FHA loan with 3.5% down payment + about 3% in closing costs if you are a first time home buyer. So at minimum, you'd need about 7% purchase price for a single family or multifamily home (condos and coops generally don't qualify for FHA, so 15-20% down would be required there) 2 families in almost all of BK are over $1 million, but there are still some deals in East New York and Brownsville, or heading over to the Bronx.

[@NyasiaC]

Is it in NYC? You can list yourself on the major websites (streeteasy.com, renthop.com), but the best would be to contact brokerages that service your area and give them the listing. They’ll come price it and market for you.
