    Congratulations!!! Buying a home as a single woman is a rollercoaster but it’s a worthwhile ride. I am almost 3 years in to my solo home owner journey. Take it one day at a time. Soak it all in. You should be proud because yes Sis YOU DID THAT 🎉🎉🎉🎉

    Yay Congratulations, your hardwork paid off!! 🥳 quick tip lol...definitely review everything your home warranty covers, sometimes not only does it covers appliances & hot water etc but it can also pipes & plumbing which i found out for mines as well.

    Congratulations. Just an fyi your escrow will increase as your insurance and taxes increase which will increase your house payment. So don’t be shocked or surprised. It is the best investment anyone can make and it will always make you money and as life goes on and you pay it off you have a nest egg . To move to other investments and plan for an early retirement . This is one piece now start planning for your next piece once again congratulations 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾✊🏿

    • @lifeandnumbers
      @lifeandnumbers  Před měsícem +1

      Thanks!! And yes I'm aware of the escrow increasing over time. Thankfully that was explained to me before buying the house!

    Congrats girl! I’ve been watching you for the past few weeks during my own home buying process. You have pushed and inspired me along the way. You posted this video yesterday, when we officially accepted our sellers counter offer after a low appraisal! They thankfully worked with us and came down to appraisal price. Now it’s just the waiting game till we close. Thanks for your content! Can’t wait to see what other videos you post.

    Congratulations!!!! I'm so happy for you🙂. I have a question. Did you decide not to hire a structural engineer because it was too expensive, or because there wasn't enough time within the 2 week span given?

    • @lifeandnumbers
      @lifeandnumbers  Před měsícem +1

      Thank you!!
      It was both. I didn't want to spend any more money and I didn't want to delay the closing process. But thankfully, after buying the house, I realized my friend knows a structural engineer and they said the crack wasn't an issue!

    Due diligence fee? Non-refundable? Never heard of that. Can you explain what that means?

    • @IWroteItInPen
      @IWroteItInPen Před měsícem +2

      Due diligence money is a fee that buyers proffer at the time they make an offer on a home. In essence, it is the buyer's good faith payment to the seller. During the due diligence period, the seller pulls the home off the market while the buyer completes inspections.
      * you are giving them money to show you are serious about purchasing the home. If for some reason you don’t buy the property the seller typically gets to keep the money. In her case she added an addendum (note) that if she didn’t close on the home she would get her money back.
