- 2:44Speaker 4: Pleasure to be here?
- 2:45Speaker 3: Good, good, good? Did I say too much that extend
- 2:48Speaker 3: over extend my credit on you?
- 2:50Speaker 4: Everything was lined up, just right, lined up, just perfect.
- 2:53Speaker 1: We're good, We're good. You know, you know, you know,
- 2:56Speaker 1: it was like a couple.
- 2:58Speaker 3: My brother lives in the DC area and think about
- 3:00Speaker 3: twenty twenty one, he sold his house and it will
- 3:05Speaker 3: people up lined around the block to buy his house.
- 3:08Speaker 3: I mean, I think his house was valued that he
- 3:10Speaker 3: put it on the market for seven hundred thousand. They
- 3:12Speaker 3: wound up selling for like nine hundred and fifty thousand.
- 3:15Speaker 3: He didn't even ask for that price. It was just
- 3:18Speaker 3: the competition of people lining up wanting to buy the home,
- 3:21Speaker 3: and that's why that price wind up Like that? Is
- 3:24Speaker 3: that still going on now? People still lining up to
- 3:27Speaker 3: buy homes like.
- 3:28Speaker 4: That, They're not lining up to buy homes, but supplying
- 3:31Speaker 4: the man is still a factor. We don't have a
- 3:35Speaker 4: lot of supplies. So now we're definitely back into a multi,
- 3:40Speaker 4: multi offer situation. So it's not it's not as intense
- 3:44Speaker 4: as last you know, your brother in DC, or even
- 3:48Speaker 4: last year, last year before rates psych. It definitely has
- 3:53Speaker 4: calmed down and it's definitely multiple offers though still multiple offers,
- 3:58Speaker 4: but not as crazy as it was last year, with
- 4:02Speaker 4: no appraisal contingency, no financial contingency, you know, everybody just
- 4:06Speaker 4: doing anything to get to get a house. It's calmed
- 4:09Speaker 4: down a little bit since then.
- 4:10Speaker 1: Cool.
- 4:11Speaker 3: So I was just talking to the general public here,
- 4:13Speaker 3: So the people out there who are interested in selling
- 4:15Speaker 3: their home. You're saying it's still a good market to
- 4:18Speaker 3: go out into.
- 4:18Speaker 4: It absolutely, it's it's absolutely it's still a good market
- 4:22Speaker 4: to go out into. And there's still multiple offers and
- 4:26Speaker 4: quit clothing, so it's definitely it's it's a great market
- 4:30Speaker 4: to sell, and it's a great market to buy. If
- 4:33Speaker 4: you're ready to buy, in your position to buy, you
- 4:35Speaker 4: don't want interest rates to stop you from purchasing a home.
- 4:38Speaker 3: Let me ask you this now you a mortgage brokerage
- 4:41Speaker 3: firm that you started, the president you found in Madison
- 4:43Speaker 3: Chase Capital Advisors. Just just questions I always likely to
- 4:46Speaker 3: ask out of curiosity. Is there a bit a good year,
- 4:49Speaker 3: a good time of the year to put your home
- 4:51Speaker 3: on sale? Like is it summer better or fall better?
- 4:54Speaker 3: Or spring better? Is there a set time of the
- 4:56Speaker 3: year just put your house on sale when it's available
- 4:58Speaker 3: to be put on sale? What are your thoughts?
- 5:00Speaker 4: Well, I think life happens, So when life happens, you've
- 5:04Speaker 4: got to move accordingly. But if you said to me,
- 5:07Speaker 4: your question is, Tianya, what's the best time to put
- 5:09Speaker 4: the house on the market? Now? Is the time when
- 5:12Speaker 4: children are getting out of school? This is and that's
- 5:15Speaker 4: how I know that the market is still a little
- 5:20Speaker 4: It still hasn't bounced back because this is normally my
- 5:24Speaker 4: extreme busy time. You know, normally school in Atlanta just
- 5:28Speaker 4: got out last week, so everybody is out of school.
- 5:32Speaker 4: So what parents normally did was say, Okay, well, let's
- 5:34Speaker 4: just wait till Johnny, little Johnny finished your school. We
- 5:37Speaker 4: don't want to interrupt. And so now it would be
- 5:39Speaker 4: in Atlanta anyway, it would be from May through the
- 5:42Speaker 4: end of August because then now everybody wants to get
- 5:45Speaker 4: in the house in time for school. So now is
- 5:48Speaker 4: really the spring springtime and summertime is normally the time
- 5:52Speaker 4: when most houses go on the market.
- 5:54Speaker 1: Cool.
- 5:55Speaker 3: So there's a system to this madness because, like I said,
- 5:57Speaker 3: you know, people we always talk about real estate, especially
- 6:00Speaker 3: the minority community. I always talking about you know, God's
- 6:03Speaker 3: not creating more land. So whatever you buy is an investment,
- 6:06Speaker 3: creating equity. You got into the brokerage firm from a
- 6:12Speaker 3: mortgage standpoint, How did that does a person like you?
- 6:15Speaker 3: I'm not saying this impossible, but it's it's a career
- 6:17Speaker 3: move that I've never thought of engaging myself. And do
- 6:20Speaker 3: you have to have like financial money in the bank,
- 6:24Speaker 3: how do you get into the creating a firm like this.
- 6:27Speaker 4: Okay, So to create a mortgage firm, you really don't
- 6:31Speaker 4: quote unquote have to have money in the bank when
- 6:33Speaker 4: you start out. Every year going forward you will. I
- 6:37Speaker 4: want to see your books to make sure that you're
- 6:39Speaker 4: you know, you're a financially sound but whatever state you're in,
- 6:43Speaker 4: you really you want to start off being licensed a
- 6:46Speaker 4: licensed loan officer, which is your you get your NML
- 6:49Speaker 4: left license. So once you're a licensed loan officer, I
- 6:53Speaker 4: recommend personally, I think you should, you know, be a
- 6:57Speaker 4: loan officer for at least three to five year, at
- 7:01Speaker 4: least three years before you started your own firm, because
- 7:04Speaker 4: there are a lot of different pieces to the puzzle
- 7:07Speaker 4: and it's just not about oh, let me open up
- 7:09Speaker 4: my own company. You really want to know the loan
- 7:12Speaker 4: part of the business very well so that you can
- 7:15Speaker 4: take care of your client.
- 7:16Speaker 1: You know.
- 7:17Speaker 3: I've been fortunate to buy some homes in my life,
- 7:20Speaker 3: not saying that I'm not bragging on that I've been
- 7:23Speaker 3: the first home I bought, I got it on you know,
- 7:26Speaker 3: like auction.
- 7:27Speaker 1: I bought.
- 7:27Speaker 3: My first home was in the auction, you know, And
- 7:29Speaker 3: now I bought it, and I was happy, and I
- 7:32Speaker 3: bid this other person because it was one of the
- 7:34Speaker 3: homes that I guess I don't know the proper language,
- 7:37Speaker 3: but I'm pretty sure you're aware of what I'm talking about.
- 7:40Speaker 1: You know.
- 7:40Speaker 3: They're kind of like fix her up homes and they
- 7:43Speaker 3: go out there and you can bid on them.
- 7:44Speaker 1: And I bid.
- 7:44Speaker 3: I got the home, and I got to the house.
- 7:46Speaker 3: Of course it didn't it didn't have an air condition unit.
- 7:48Speaker 3: Somebody has stolen the air condition unit. So I had
- 7:50Speaker 3: to buy the air condition unit and put it on
- 7:52Speaker 3: the house, and I was up and running.
- 7:54Speaker 1: That was my very first home. But I tell you,
- 7:56Speaker 1: when I bought that home.
- 7:57Speaker 3: Now, are you the person that puts it out like
- 8:00Speaker 3: a like almost a Bible sized.
- 8:02Speaker 1: Amount of paper in front of us and tell us
- 8:05Speaker 1: we have to sign. Is that you? That is me?
- 8:08Speaker 4: But nowadays, nowadays I'm gonna send it to you via
- 8:12Speaker 4: docu side.
- 8:14Speaker 1: But that's that because I don't know what I'm signing.
- 8:18Speaker 4: I always tell people when when you get those when
- 8:21Speaker 4: you go under contract, you know, when you get those
- 8:24Speaker 4: those that big set of disclosure that's probably anywhere between
- 8:28Speaker 4: eighty to one hundred pages. When you when you go
- 8:32Speaker 4: when you go through them, a lot of them are
- 8:34Speaker 4: just you know, it's, you know, a workbook that you
- 8:36Speaker 4: have to have a disclosure that you have to keep.
- 8:38Speaker 4: But the bottom line is the most important thing that
- 8:41Speaker 4: you want to read is your loan estimate. So and
- 8:45Speaker 4: you said, well, tell you why your loan estimate. Your
- 8:47Speaker 4: loan estimate is going to show you what the current
- 8:50Speaker 4: rate is, what how much you're borrowing, your total estimated payment,
- 8:55Speaker 4: and if your loan's lost or not.
- 8:57Speaker 1: So when you say loan lock or let's let's let's
- 9:00Speaker 1: stop right there, what does that mean the loan is locked?
- 9:02Speaker 4: What does that means? That means your interest rate. So
- 9:04Speaker 4: that means, for example, I just spoke to a client
- 9:06Speaker 4: today and they're doing a USDA loan and I told
- 9:10Speaker 4: them what their rate was and it was six point
- 9:14Speaker 4: seventy five, and they are, we're going to go ahead
- 9:18Speaker 4: and lock tomorrow to see. Anybody can tell you what
- 9:21Speaker 4: your rate is. But until you get that loan estimate
- 9:25Speaker 4: that says your rate is locked, you are then floating.
- 9:28Speaker 4: And so you're you know, your you're in reality, you're gambling.
- 9:31Speaker 4: You know, every day the market, you know, the market
- 9:34Speaker 4: changes every day. Sometimes it changes twice three times a day,
- 9:38Speaker 4: so the market is volatile, so you want to make
- 9:40Speaker 4: sure your loan is locked, and if it's not locked,
- 9:43Speaker 4: then you just want to make sure you stay on
- 9:44Speaker 4: top of that so that the rate that you got
- 9:46Speaker 4: quoted at the beginning is the rate that you'll end
- 9:49Speaker 4: up with.
- 9:50Speaker 3: That's important because of the fact that now now you
- 9:54Speaker 3: have like different loans like fifteen year mortgages and thirty
- 9:57Speaker 3: year mortgage.
- 9:58Speaker 1: Are there any mortgages longer than thre us?
- 10:01Speaker 4: I wouldn't recommend it right now. The government did just
- 10:05Speaker 4: recently or or for our faha forty year fah loans
- 10:09Speaker 4: for modification, but I definitely wouldn't or I wouldn't recommend
- 10:13Speaker 4: a forty year amorization term. That's just too long. Forty
- 10:16Speaker 4: years is a long time, thirty is a long time.
- 10:20Speaker 4: I personally, a forty year loan you can't. You can't.
- 10:25Speaker 4: I mean, you could technically do extra principal, you know,
- 10:29Speaker 4: extra principal payment every month, but there's no they're not
- 10:33Speaker 4: going to do forty year loans for first for homeowners
- 10:37Speaker 4: Fanny and Freddy. They're not going to do it. This
- 10:41Speaker 4: is just something like I said Faha to help them
- 10:44Speaker 4: with the modification. But I would not recommend a four
- 10:47Speaker 4: year loan. And while we're talking about that, even though
- 10:50Speaker 4: rates have spiked that a lot of people aren't refinancing
- 10:53Speaker 4: like they used to be. You just want to be really,
- 10:56Speaker 4: really careful when you've refinanced. If you've been in your
- 10:58Speaker 4: house for ten years, don't automatically go back to a
- 11:02Speaker 4: thirty because you're thinking it's saving you money. You started
- 11:06Speaker 4: that clock all over again. So if you're refinancing, you
- 11:10Speaker 4: can do a twenty five year term, you can do
- 11:13Speaker 4: a twenty year term, you could do a fifteen year term.
- 11:15Speaker 4: But if you've been in your house for more than
- 11:17Speaker 4: five years, I do not recommend going back to the
- 11:20Speaker 4: thirty year term, right just.
- 11:22Speaker 1: Because you're trying to get a lower monthly rate.
- 11:26Speaker 4: Yeah, they're trying to get a lower monthly rate, but
- 11:28Speaker 4: all you've done is add you know, X amount of
- 11:30Speaker 4: interest back onto your loan that you've got to pay off.
- 11:33Speaker 4: Because you have to remember mortgages are they're interest loaded
- 11:38Speaker 4: in the front. So all you've seen over the years
- 11:42Speaker 4: with the houses that you purchased, when you went to
- 11:44Speaker 4: sell that last house to buy your next house, or
- 11:47Speaker 4: maybe you didn't even go to sell it. You just
- 11:49Speaker 4: looked at your payoff. You said, oh my goodness, I've
- 11:52Speaker 4: been paying on this thing for seven years. You know
- 11:55Speaker 4: what I mean, this is still my balance. But one
- 11:59Speaker 4: thing that you can do is you can make one
- 12:01Speaker 4: extra principal payment principal one payment extra a year, and
- 12:05Speaker 4: you can shave seven years of interest off your loan.
- 12:09Speaker 4: So you know, if you have to get a thirty
- 12:11Speaker 4: to start out with, that's totally fine. And if you
- 12:14Speaker 4: don't feel.
- 12:14Speaker 3: So you're saying that, you're saying that, you're saying that
- 12:17Speaker 3: on the thirty year mortgage. Could you be talking fast?
- 12:20Speaker 3: It's blanket because you know, you know you've been doing
- 12:23Speaker 3: this all your life. Okay, lock hell, Now you just
- 12:27Speaker 3: said that if I have a thirty year mortgage, right,
- 12:30Speaker 3: I have a thirty year mortgage, right, and if I
- 12:32Speaker 3: make an extra payment a year mortgage payment, a year
- 12:36Speaker 3: extra apply to my to apply to my balance, right,
- 12:41Speaker 3: not the interest?
- 12:42Speaker 1: How much would that? How much would that take my mortgage?
- 12:45Speaker 4: That's the thirty that's shape, So that would take that
- 12:48Speaker 4: would take your that would take your thirty year mortgage
- 12:50Speaker 4: to a twenty three twenty two year mortgage. Just by
- 12:56Speaker 4: doing that, because you're going to hit that principal faster.
- 13:00Speaker 4: For example, for me, I always tell people, you know,
- 13:03Speaker 4: I bought my house in six My interest rate on
- 13:06Speaker 4: the first was six and a half and my interest
- 13:08Speaker 4: rate on the second was ten and a half. And
- 13:11Speaker 4: it was and that was like one hundred percent finance.
- 13:13Speaker 4: And this was in January o six. But you're in Atlanta.
- 13:16Speaker 4: So I bought an Alpharetta. So I pay two forty
- 13:19Speaker 4: nine for my house. You can't find a house in
- 13:21Speaker 4: Alpharetta right now for three hundred thousand for get to
- 13:24Speaker 4: forty nine.
- 13:26Speaker 1: But but are you bragging the planter? Are you braking? No,
- 13:29Speaker 1: I'm not.
- 13:30Speaker 5: I'm not.
- 13:30Speaker 4: I'm just stating factors. So I'm just stating fact.
- 13:33Speaker 1: That's right.
- 13:33Speaker 4: But but what but what I did do is years
- 13:36Speaker 4: later I went ahead and I refinanced to a fifteen
- 13:41Speaker 4: at two point seventy five, and it attacked my principle.
- 13:45Speaker 4: So my point is that if you can't start out
- 13:48Speaker 4: on a fifteen year or you don't feel comfortable with
- 13:51Speaker 4: that higher payment, always do you have? You have two
- 13:56Speaker 4: ways really of doing it. You can do biweekly payments.
- 13:59Speaker 4: You have I have to set that up with your service,
- 14:02Speaker 4: So don't just pay a payment every other week. You
- 14:05Speaker 4: cannot do that. They expect your mortgage payment to be
- 14:08Speaker 4: paid in full. So most of the time they'll charge
- 14:10Speaker 4: you a setup feat of two hundred and fifty dollars
- 14:13Speaker 4: to do biweekly payments. And you've already just by doing
- 14:17Speaker 4: every other week, you've already accomplished that one extra payment.
- 14:21Speaker 4: Or you can just do one extra payment a month,
- 14:23Speaker 4: you know online or nobody really nailed it into the company,
- 14:27Speaker 4: or you can mail it in and you just check
- 14:29Speaker 4: towards principle.

- 16:37Speaker 3: the first and the fifteenth, and never really into planning
- 16:41Speaker 3: our future in real estate is the way that you
- 16:43Speaker 3: can plan your future. How did you really get into
- 16:46Speaker 3: this business you talked about, Rashan. You don't have to
- 16:49Speaker 3: have money in the bank, but you have a course,
- 16:52Speaker 3: a program that you put in place now called six
- 16:55Speaker 3: Months to six figures, a loan Officer's Guide to a
- 16:58Speaker 3: profitable business. What exactly?
- 17:00Speaker 4: Absolutely, So I started out. I've been doing mortgages for
- 17:05Speaker 4: nineteen years and so this in June will be five
- 17:08Speaker 4: years that I've owned my own company. But I started
- 17:11Speaker 4: out as a loan officer. And when you start out
- 17:13Speaker 4: as a loan officer, you're one hundred percent commission. So
- 17:16Speaker 4: just think I had been recently divorced and my UX Susin,
- 17:20Speaker 4: and I had a great relationship. So we divorced with
- 17:23Speaker 4: no alimony, no child support. We've been put expenses and
- 17:26Speaker 4: explit time. So I had to think. So even though
- 17:30Speaker 4: it seemed risky going one hundred percent commission after being
- 17:34Speaker 4: recently divorced, I knew that I wanted something that, you know,
- 17:38Speaker 4: I wanted to be able to, you know, have unlimited income,
- 17:41Speaker 4: and I wanted to be able to spend time with
- 17:43Speaker 4: my children. They were small at the time. So I
- 17:46Speaker 4: became a loan officer. And so when you're a loan officer,
- 17:49Speaker 4: it's all about relationships, it's about knowing your guidelines, it's
- 17:53Speaker 4: about closing on time. And what I found when I
- 17:57Speaker 4: hired people at my firm loan officers. They were newly licensed,
- 18:02Speaker 4: but they had no idea how to be a loan officer.
- 18:07Speaker 4: Nobody teaches you that. So so I took the time
- 18:11Speaker 4: to create a course. Actually it's called six Months to
- 18:14Speaker 4: six Figures. It's seven modules, a resource god a jump
- 18:19Speaker 4: start that if you complete this and within six months,
- 18:23Speaker 4: you'll be making six figures as a loan officer. And
- 18:27Speaker 4: it's it's all common sense. It's it's my experience of
- 18:32Speaker 4: being in the business for nineteen years and raising you know,
- 18:35Speaker 4: two children, and you know, taking vacations and you know,
- 18:38Speaker 4: being one hundred percent commission for nineteen years is a
- 18:42Speaker 4: testimony in it itself, and wake up every day, wake
- 18:46Speaker 4: up every day and say, this is what I want
- 18:48Speaker 4: to do. So I created the course really to help
- 18:50Speaker 4: people avoid costly mistakes, because you have to remember, when
- 18:57Speaker 4: you're doing a loan, it's not you have a buyer
- 19:00Speaker 4: and a seller. You have someone's life, life life in
- 19:03Speaker 4: your hands.
- 19:04Speaker 5: Literally.
- 19:05Speaker 4: You know, a lot of times people focus so much
- 19:07Speaker 4: on the buyer, but I always focus on the seller,
- 19:10Speaker 4: even though I'm doing the loans for the buyer, because
- 19:13Speaker 4: I know that seller has also either they need that
- 19:16Speaker 4: money for a move or something important in their lives,
- 19:20Speaker 4: or they're going to their next house, so they need
- 19:23Speaker 4: to close on time as well. So that's why I
- 19:25Speaker 4: created the course to really help new loan offices or
- 19:29Speaker 4: loan offices have been in the business and aren't closing
- 19:32Speaker 4: at least three to five loans a month. This course
- 19:34Speaker 4: will definitely help you.
- 19:35Speaker 6: We know.
- 19:36Speaker 1: The thing about it.
- 19:37Speaker 3: The reason they excited me about bringing you on the
- 19:39Speaker 3: show because so many of my listeners, so many people
- 19:42Speaker 3: in the world and there are afraid to make change.
- 19:44Speaker 3: And also you also hit a certain age where they
- 19:46Speaker 3: feel that just it. You know, I'm thirty, I can't
- 19:50Speaker 3: do anything. On forty, I can't do it. Fifty they've
- 19:53Speaker 3: thrown the shovel and they've planning in their own raid.
- 19:56Speaker 1: So they're buying.
- 19:57Speaker 3: Plots and so, right, well, that's what you shouldn't think
- 20:00Speaker 3: that way. You should think about opportunities, opportunities to be
- 20:04Speaker 3: able to grow your fortune. And this is what we're
- 20:07Speaker 3: talking about with this particular program, is that it's not
- 20:10Speaker 3: when you're not talking about somebody who's just graduated from
- 20:13Speaker 3: high school or somebody who just graduated from college or
- 20:15Speaker 3: didn't go to college, you're not.
- 20:16Speaker 1: We're talking about.
- 20:17Speaker 3: People who are adults who are looking to make decisions
- 20:21Speaker 3: and talk to us right quick.
- 20:22Speaker 1: Who are you talking to?
- 20:24Speaker 5: Right?
- 20:24Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 20:24Speaker 5: You know what?
- 20:25Speaker 4: And I think you brought up a really good point
- 20:27Speaker 4: because I didn't graduate from college. I have my series
- 20:30Speaker 4: seven and sixty three from when I worked at Payne Weber,
- 20:33Speaker 4: so that's when I was officially smart. That's what I
- 20:35Speaker 4: always say. When I passed the seven, I was officially smart.
- 20:38Speaker 4: But you have to you have to really focus on
- 20:41Speaker 4: life skills and you know, interpersonal skills and reading and English.
- 20:48Speaker 4: If you always tell people be careful with just going
- 20:52Speaker 4: to college, to go to college, you know, student loan
- 20:55Speaker 4: debt is out of control, you know. I suggest to parents,
- 20:58Speaker 4: you know, if you if you didn't say money for college,
- 21:00Speaker 4: get your childhood to college, a community college for two
- 21:03Speaker 4: years and then you know, a four year school for
- 21:07Speaker 4: their degree. Like just think about President Obama. All you
- 21:11Speaker 4: remember is that he graduated from Columbia, then Harvard. Nobody
- 21:14Speaker 4: remembers the school he went to beforehand. So you just
- 21:17Speaker 4: have to be really you know, smart with your money
- 21:21Speaker 4: and know that debt. You know, you don't want to
- 21:24Speaker 4: incur debt. And this is really fast about dreams. You know,
- 21:28Speaker 4: anybody out here who doesn't own a house right now,
- 21:31Speaker 4: there's no reason that you can't. You have to start
- 21:35Speaker 4: where you are, even if you're credit and I don't
- 21:37Speaker 4: do credit counseling, I don't do credit repair, I don't
- 21:40Speaker 4: do credit restoration. But you have to start where you are.
- 21:44Speaker 4: You have to take your head out the sand. Look
- 21:46Speaker 4: at your credit report. It's all going to start there.
- 21:49Speaker 4: Look at your credit report, take responsibility, start fixing your credit.
- 21:54Speaker 4: Then start saving systematically. Even if you can't save in
- 21:57Speaker 4: fall one k, get a separate save in got a
- 22:00Speaker 4: credit union where you don't have access to the money,
- 22:02Speaker 4: and saved because the bottom line is that if you're
- 22:05Speaker 4: not paying your mortgage, you're paying someone else's. And this
- 22:08Speaker 4: is really really important. Just you know, maybe your first
- 22:13Speaker 4: house can't be that you know, four four four bedroom,
- 22:16Speaker 4: four baths, but it's a three two, it's a three bedroom,
- 22:20Speaker 4: it's a a two bath that you and your family own.
- 22:23Speaker 4: There is no security for a child like owning their
- 22:27Speaker 4: own home, coming in from that school bus, coming in
- 22:30Speaker 4: a house, saying hey mom, hey dad, and going up
- 22:33Speaker 4: to their room. So just think, just start out. Most
- 22:36Speaker 4: people want the big house. Start out, even you know
- 22:40Speaker 4: you we laughed about my house in Alpharetta, but believe
- 22:42Speaker 4: it or not, at that time, that was a sacrifice.
- 22:45Speaker 4: I wanted a basement, right and I took a FOURD
- 22:48Speaker 4: a basement, so I had to get a master on
- 22:50Speaker 4: the main and that sounds like, oh, a master on
- 22:52Speaker 4: the main. But still it was a sacrifice. It was
- 22:54Speaker 4: something that I wanted. But had I not look at
- 22:58Speaker 4: those interest rates six point father on the first ten
- 23:01Speaker 4: on the second look at those rays, What if I
- 23:04Speaker 4: had to say you know what, I'm gonna wait right right,
- 23:07Speaker 4: they wouldn't have my house, so you gotta you know,
- 23:10Speaker 4: the time is now.
- 23:11Speaker 3: Well, you know, I love your passion. I love because
- 23:13Speaker 3: some some some triggered in you. You know, it's like, okay,
- 23:16Speaker 3: I got Rashan. It's almost like you you get mad
- 23:19Speaker 3: at people when you see them making the same mistake
- 23:22Speaker 3: over and again over again, or denying themselves the opportunity.
- 23:24Speaker 3: I know, I get mad Ali because because the word
- 23:27Speaker 3: common sense. And then, like you said, holding yourself responsible
- 23:30Speaker 3: to your own dreams. You know, your dreams can only
- 23:33Speaker 3: be achieved if you want to show maturity responsibility to
- 23:37Speaker 3: why they are not happening.
- 23:39Speaker 1: And that's when you have to sit down and have go.
- 23:41Speaker 1: You have to have faith.
- 23:42Speaker 3: But faith has to have a plan attached to it,
- 23:45Speaker 3: because you can pray all you want if that plan
- 23:47Speaker 3: is not associated with that, with that, with that, with
- 23:50Speaker 3: that faith and guess.
- 23:51Speaker 1: What that action there you go right there. Now, here's
- 23:55Speaker 1: here's the thing about it.
- 23:55Speaker 3: Because I'm really enjoying this interview because of the fact
- 23:58Speaker 3: that I'm being educated, and I think that's important that
- 24:01Speaker 3: people understand that the purpose of this show is that
- 24:04Speaker 3: I don't know everything. So I bring people like miss
- 24:06Speaker 3: Blanchard onto the show. Who who is doing something I've
- 24:10Speaker 3: been involved with several times as a guy who wanted
- 24:14Speaker 3: to buy a home. Now, I want to ask you
- 24:16Speaker 3: this question. That big old stack of paper, you know,
- 24:19Speaker 3: because I'm signing you said something like usham makes sure
- 24:23Speaker 3: you go to that page and make sure you're about
- 24:25Speaker 3: to fix interest rate? Are there people out there we
- 24:28Speaker 3: should be worried about when they slide those closing papers
- 24:31Speaker 3: in front of us.
- 24:32Speaker 4: Absolutely, well, you're the thing, not the things in papers.
- 24:38Speaker 4: Because the Frank God asked back in two thousand and
- 24:44Speaker 4: I think it was nine ten when it was passed,
- 24:47Speaker 4: eliminated that. So at least now before you go to closing,
- 24:51Speaker 4: before you go to closing, three days before, three business
- 24:56Speaker 4: days before included we can count saturdays, you have to
- 25:00Speaker 4: see your initial clothes and clothed and disclosure. But that
- 25:04Speaker 4: initial disclosure is going to give you what that loan estimate.
- 25:08Speaker 4: That that loan estimate that you have that was in
- 25:12Speaker 4: your first documentary side I call those the money pages.
- 25:16Speaker 4: At closing, the two things that are most important are
- 25:20Speaker 4: going to be your note, which is one which is
- 25:22Speaker 4: one to close and disclosure. The CD is going to
- 25:24Speaker 4: be your note and your payment. And but the biggest
- 25:28Speaker 4: thing is that close and disclosure. You should have seen
- 25:32Speaker 4: it from your loan estimate. And what you want to
- 25:34Speaker 4: really look at, it's just you want to look at points.
- 25:37Speaker 4: You want to look at how much you pay in
- 25:39Speaker 4: the origination, how much are you paying a discount points?
- 25:43Speaker 4: So that is crucial. And every you know, everybody is
- 25:47Speaker 4: everybody is not created equal, you know, and you know
- 25:50Speaker 4: a lot of times that's one of the reasons what
- 25:52Speaker 4: my course that I tell people, keep your pipeline, stat
- 25:56Speaker 4: keep keep loans coming in so that you're not feeling
- 25:59Speaker 4: death for it, like, oh my gosh, I got this
- 26:02Speaker 4: one loan and if it doesn't close, there's my mortgagees
- 26:05Speaker 4: everything I need. You got.
- 26:06Speaker 1: You have to stay.
- 26:07Speaker 4: You got to stay busy. You're going to stay with
- 26:09Speaker 4: your pointeline. But that closing disclosure, you should could be
- 26:13Speaker 4: able to compare it to your loan estimate and your
- 26:16Speaker 4: numbers should change. The always tell my clients the thing
- 26:20Speaker 4: the lender fees and box eight hundred, those are my fees.
- 26:26Speaker 4: Those can't change. Now I can't I won't know what
- 26:30Speaker 4: your insurance, your insurance is until you know, you get
- 26:34Speaker 4: your homeowners insurance and then your tax bill. I look
- 26:37Speaker 4: up the tax bill before I send out your disclosures
- 26:40Speaker 4: because I like you to know really what your taxes are.
- 26:43Speaker 4: The new construction, we can't. We don't know, but I
- 26:46Speaker 4: try and give people a good idea of what that
- 26:48Speaker 4: monthly payment is and what the estimated caster closes so
- 26:52Speaker 4: that they're no surprises. And that's what's happening back door.
- 26:56Speaker 4: In the recession, people were just you know, vambuzled at
- 27:00Speaker 4: the closing table under pressure and they were signing and
- 27:02Speaker 4: they didn't know what they were signing.
