Why Some People Cannot Get Home Loans

     Because it is all in the mindset. I have had so many people tell me that they are not ready to purchase a home because they need to get their credit straight. When I ask them what their credit score is and what they need to do, guess what they say...."I dont know"

See, there is no way you can truly know if you can or cannot buy right now if you don't have a professional look at your credit and tell you what you need to do. Surely you don't enjoy paying $1300 or more for rent when you can get a mortgage in the same are for about $1000 a month. In this day and time we have to work smart not hard.

I used to be the same way, the way I got into my home was joking around with a friend of mine about getting a home and seeing who could get in a home first. We were just joking and competing to see who could buy their home first. I'm a sucker for competition and we both got a home (of course I won lol). The point is he thought his credit was bad and I thought my credit wasn't good either. That was in Nov of 2009 and by March 10, 2010; I was a homeowner.

Don't hold yourself back because of fear (false evidence appearing real). You have down payment programs, closing cost help, and credit repair options to help you get into a home.

Won't it be nice to pay a mortgage and know its going to you owning a home instead of financing someone else's dream?

Rent is overrated, its time to own some land and home a own.

If you need help finding a lender I have some options. As a realtor I'll be there to help you all the way.

How To Purchase Your First Home Mortgage Free

I'm sure that got your attention. That's the same way my audience felt when I went over the details at my first Power up event in Baltimore. I showed them how to make their first home purchase and have the mortgage pay for itself.

Even though it seems like its a hard process, its really not if you just apply yourself and get the knowledge you need to make it a reality.

Their are certain steps you have to take which include the following:
1. Get a pre-approval letter from a lender (I recommend using the bank you have your money in now).
2. Choosing a property that has a lot of equity (usually properties that need repair). Also, I recommend a multi-unit.
3. Find out the value of the property after it has been renovated. (Im a realtor that can help with that)
4. Have a contractor that can help you fix up the property (or I can assist with that).
5. Repair the property after closing and live in one unit and rent out a space for a tenant. (check out the average rents in the area you choose)

So, here is an actual example:

Property on 123 Maine st -Purchase Price- $10,000
Renovation costs                                          $85,000

Total Investment                                         $95,000

Here is how the mortgage will be free- Mortgage for this loan would be about $850 a month. If you rent out a unit in your home for $1000 (ex; a 2bd/1 bath). You can pay the mortgage and save the additional $150.

Also, you can save the money that you would usually use to pay mortgage to put in future investments.

Dont let your fear of not thinking your ready stop you. If you are paying over $900 a month for a mortgage, you are ready. Stop building someone else's residual income and build your own. Stay tuned for the next event.
