Ok, I died😅😅 when brotha said that you could get cooking 🍳 stains on your couch 🛋️. That 1st floor is so small u would've have to go outside just to change your mind😅😅
I moved from Tampa to Washington DC a few months ago and I’m thinking of purchasing a single family home there, but with real estate prices currently through the roof, is it still a good idea to buy a home or should I invest in stocks for now and just wait for a housing market correction?
well you could put a downpayment on a home and as well diversify as much as you can into Ai, energy and big pharm. stocks like Pfizer and JnJ, ASML, MLM and S&P 500 ETFs. I’d suggest you go with a managed portfolio, but even those don’t perform so well, so it’s best you reach out to a proper fiduciary to guide you, that’s what works for my spouse and I making a whooping $738k in Q4 last year
There are many advisors to choose from. But I work with 'Leah Foster Alderman' and we've been working together for years and she's fantastic. You could check her if she meets your requirements. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with
Thanks for the recommendation, I just googled her and I'm really impressed with her credentials, I reached out to her since I need all the assistance I can get.
@@melc156 I was standing in front of it when i was giving the specs and price of the home at 24:40 but it’s covered by the small trees so its hard to get a good view. Glad you enjoyed watching!
That first unit was disrespectfully small. No counter space in the kitchen or the bathrooms. The only positive is the fact that you don't have to get off the couch to get something out of the fridge😮
Great showcase. I live in Rockville, MD and prefer suburban living but I'm enjoying your content and learning about DC neighborhoods (from NC). I also like the addition of the mortgage analysis.
@@iriswagstaff Rockville is awesome. I Love that whole pike and rose area. Who knows, I might find myself out there soon showcasing the real estate and amenities 🤷🏽♂️ 😉
I was done when each of them came with an HOA, nope 🙅🏾♀️. However, the 1st two condos would be great for 1st time home buyers with no kids and they will continue to appreciate in value. The townhome is 🔥, it will also appreciate in value since SE is the new hot spot because it is still affordable for now. They did a great job on the renovations 👏🏾👏🏾.
@4:11, you are paying $460,000 to live in your kitchen? You probably can't even open the fridge door without hitting the sofa. @5:17, that isn't a bedroom. There is no "closet" and by the time you get a bed in there, the room will be full, so no space for a freestanding wardrobe. Having two TINY bathrooms in a two bedroom house is nonsense. There should be a 'Jack and Jill' arrangement thereby giving each bedroom a little more space. @10:49, wow, that is wild. The second unit makes more sense. It has a bigger kitchen/living space and a larger bedroom. It seems as if the first property tried to squeeze in more in the same amount of space. @21:37, that is a LOT of money to pay for a convenient location. @25:23, I would favour Lidl over Safeway. @26:07, at least you are not walking in off the street into the kitchen and the living room is not a bad size. I like the powder room. The kitchen is small, but there is a pantry for more storage. The second floor (UK viewer here) has the most space. I was thinking that nearly $500,000 is pricey, but you get quite a lot for the money. However, you can't really buy anything in Washington DC for $400,000.
@@tuan2u 3% is the minimum down payment required to buy a home. Im not telling anyone to do anything. Im just using it as an example. People can do whatever they want. In the real world most people are not walking around with a 20% downpayment anyway. You personally might have the ability to put down 20% but that doesn’t mean everyone else can…. especially not at this $400,000 first time homebuyer price point. On average most people put down 3-10%.
@@BashirBadruDMVRealtor just like you said: location. I'll sacrifice the space to be in the middle of everything i need, including work. those interest rates still bug me though.

it’s a personal decision, but according to Forbes, housing activities will remain stagnant for the most part of the year, so maybe hold off a little.

I’m an art collector, this is not very new to me but has a nuance to it. Can you assist me?

3rd house is 🔥🔥🔥🔥. Love the layout to the interior design ❤ . It doesn't have curb appeal BUT the inside outshines that. Thanks for sharing.😊

Agree! I dont think there was room for dressers in each bedroom too.
First house = $450,000+ for Barbie Dream House.

I love the last house.
@@nathanielowens385 its a great house
#1 is wayyy 2 small. Should’ve been a half ba on 1st lvl and a main on level 2. I don’t want my couch next to my fridge at nearly half a million
This is great content...but how sir, did you sneak a $700K property into your $400k video? Do tell?
@@CherieButler i misspoke. I Meant to say $410,000. I put up the edit on the screen at 20:15
That 3rd house! Wish it had outdoor space but to use your word Bashir, an anomaly 👌🏾
This is my price range. I will sail my home in Southern Virginia and give you a call. Don't want to be house rich but cash poor.
@@nathanielowens385 makes sense! Feel free to Reach out when the time is right 👊🏽
Has somebody bumped their head to get this particular little unit you will be paying almost 4000 a month for the small place.

Bring back tubs 😢
if you are referring to the first home, the 2nd bedroom had a tub
I’ve seen just a few of your videos in the last month or so. Do you have any outside of DC and MD? Like Northern VA?
@@rasquire2497 yes, were you considering moving to Northern VA?

How can you tell that a real estate agent is not looking for your best interests? He tells you what you could buy with a 3% down instead of 20%

I’m not going to lie but that looks like the hood. Especially from that alley view. That does not look like a good area at all.
@@peaceful4you408 the houses look older but it’s definitely not the hood. looks are deceiving. That’s just the aesthetic of DC.
@@CherieButler i think the previous comment was referring to the alley view for the first condo in NW
