    Howdy, So I noticed I can get more house with paying off a debt rather then making a large down payment.If I leave 10 months on the debt would it be better due to credit scoring?

    Not only the right program, but within it being on the correct repayment plan. That was part of the issue in the very beginning, when people thought their loans were to be discharged after fulfilling the requirements, only to find out after all that time invested, that they weren't because they were enrolled in the wrong repayment plan. It was heartbreaking to hear. Mine were discharged in January having worked in public service in different capacities🙏🏽. Starting my home search soon🤞🏽 because this market right now 😮‍💨?!?

    The $300 increase is what I’m scared of for 2024, as the builder only paid taxes on the land I believe. If the value goes up by almost $120k, which will increase my overall taxes will I see a significant payment increase next year in my payment? This is how they get people I feel. I think the biggest scandal is when everyone was saying it’s cheaper to own then rent. That simply wasn’t true with these home prices and adding in taxes and home owners insurance.

    • @ShaheedahHill
      @ShaheedahHill  9 місяців тому +3

      It will likely go up, I usually tell my clients to have the lender estimate the taxes with the property completed, but many of my first time buyers want to pay that lower amount...but I tell them..don't be shocked when that escrow account is short. You will be fine. Here is a video I did about it - ua-cam.com/video/MSN86nPzvtQ/v-deo.html

    Happy Holidays Shaheedah! Thank you for all the real estate advice. My daughter was trying to buy a condo in Norcross, GA but the inspection showed that it needed a lot of repairs and the seller didn't want to come down on the price so she pulled out should she had paid for the appraisal and go from there? Or did she do the right thing by walking away?

    • @ShaheedahHill
      @ShaheedahHill  9 місяців тому

      I think walking away was probably for the best, in the future have her negotiate everything in the due diligence period so she does not pay for an appraisal if she may not go forward with the sale. She will have to pay for another inspection, but often if she uses the same inspector they will give her a deal on inspection #2. Have her watch these 2 videos - one on condos and the other on inspections, and get her my masterclass if she is not already under contract again. ua-cam.com/video/ctNTnIt7yLA/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/HFx8GNY93vk/v-deo.html

    What's the advantage of putting down 20% please enlighten me!

    • @ShaheedahHill
      @ShaheedahHill  7 місяців тому +2

      The main advantage is that with conventional loans you will avoid paying mortgage insurance. Mortgage insurance is insurance for the lender if the borrower defaults. There is more risk for people that put less down.

    • @ShaheedahHill
      @ShaheedahHill  9 місяців тому

      Fannie Mae allows 5% down payments for owner-occupied 2-, 3-, and 4-unit (multifamily) homes. This is a surprising reversal of the years-long policy of requiring 15-25% down for duplexes, triplexes, and four-plexes. I did this video on multi-family homes - ua-cam.com/video/hxMrdqyJqpo/v-deo.html

    • @ShaheedahHill
      @ShaheedahHill  9 місяців тому

      It doesn't have much of an impact, unless you are using a lender nobody has ever heard of - then agents may not trust the financing source. But always get 3 quotes. @LeslieGrantlovefaithhope Thanks for watching!

    First time home buyer in New Jersey, is there a simpler way to pick which lender I should be considering or applying for a loan with? Do you have any recommendations of top lenders for first-time home buyers? Happy holidays. 🎄

    • @momof4121
      @momof4121 9 місяців тому

      Did you know jersey has down payment assistance (10k SJ/15k NJ) and if you never bought a home you get even more money(7k more) If north jersey you can get up 22k and if south jersey you can get up to 17k you have to use specific lenders and it doesn’t matter to look around because all the lenders for the program use rates given to them by the state. So just pick the lender who you feel most confident with.

    • @ShaheedahHill
      @ShaheedahHill  9 місяців тому

      Since this is a larget purchase you don't want to shy away from the 3 quotes, it will serve you better to do so. However, if you only want to do one then lean on your agent and let them recommend a lender that they have used that is great with first time homebuyers. @VioletCharmed124 Thanks for watching!

      Mortgage insurance amounts to a few hundred dollars per month added to your mortgage payment. It's much better to still have the cash on hand for unknowns than to try to eliminate your PMI.
