New Home Buyers & Sellers
This gentleman gets kudos for successfully undergoing the mortgage process as an entrepreneur and sticking to his plan.
*TIP- Self-employed individuals are able to write-off expenses, but when buying a home, this has a negative impact. They will qualify for a smaller mortgage/less house than they want. If you are self-employed or a W2 worker that writes off business expenses, let your tax professional know that you plan to buy a home in the next year or 2 so they can advise you accordingly.
When building a home from the dirt up, it can take 3-6 months or more. Congrats to this young lady on staying the course and trusting that what was for her, would not pass her.
*Stay tuned for blog posts on what to do when and after you buy new constructionAND understanding how working with a lender vs. a bank will impact your buying experience.
I sold my 1st home [insert tears]. We had several offers within a few days, but this veteran family submitted the strongest offer. It was very bitter sweet, but I am happy a new family now has their 1st home.

1) Before you rent, see if you can BUY! In this market, in most cases, it is cheaper to buy, than to rent.2) Lease vs. Lease Purchase I often get asked about “lease purchase”. Do your homework and understand the terms. Most contracts require a large deposit upfront and if you do not end up buying the house (you realize you don’t like the house or the neighborhood, or you just can’t qualify for a mortgage at the time), you lose your $$$.There are 2 companies that offer something similar to a lease purchase, but the terms are better. Call or email me for information on them. Outside of these, I recommend a standard 12 month lease.
