    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. I decided to move out of London and now the UK introduced 5%for first time buyers so I've got that cash and more. I'm gonna buy me and my kids a home now and I came across this video. Bless you!!
