    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.

      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

    I was not looking to buy a house. I didn’t think it was something I could do or afford on my own but I was having such a hard time finding apartments that my mom and best friend convinced me into buying a house. I’m so glad I did it.

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.

    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

    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!

    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.
