Here’s how to get started in real estate investi

Here’s how to get started in real estate investing. (Spoiler alert: It’s not as complicated as you might think!)⁣
⁣
1. Get face-to-face with at least 3 folks already involved in investing. As great as YouTube and blogs are, there’s no substitute for getting one-on-one with investors who have been there and done that. Offer to buy their dinner and come ready to listen more than you talk.⁣
2. While you’re doing your “dinner due diligence,” start setting aside funds every week that you mark for investment.⁣
3. Choose a market and investing style. A few options -- sole ownership of a single family, joint ownership of a single-family or small multi-family, real estate investment trusts (REITs), commercial property, or land.⁣
4. Analyze deals in your market choice. An experienced realtor who knows your area is essential here!⁣
6. Make offers and close deals. Finally - the exciting part!⁣
7. Build your team of experts (real estate agent, lender, inspector, insurance agent. attorney, etc.) who can help you with your next transaction!⁣
⁣
Intrigued? I thought so -- shoot me a message and let me help you find the people and the properties you need to make investing a reality in 2021!⁣

Let's play TRUTH or DARE...minus the dares. Who's

Let's play TRUTH or DARE...minus the dares. Who's game? ⁣
⁣
Where’s your favorite place you've ever lived? Somewhere far away? Nearby? What made it so special and how long did you live there? ⁣
⁣
Share in the comments -- I'll go first! ⁣
⁣
My favorite place to live is the Dominican Republic 🇩🇴! I grew up there with my grandparents and is the neat thing that could’ve happened to me as a young child! I have so many profound memories that I would need a boom to wrote them all!!!

You’ve seen it everywhere -- and every time, you

You’ve seen it everywhere -- and every time, you think, “GAH, that looks AMAZING!” Know the trend? Yep, wallpaper accent walls. ⁣
⁣
Savvy home decorators have snatched a page right out of their mentors’ 1980s playbook and are embracing wallpaper once again with a modern twist and a bit more sophistication. ⁣
⁣
Wanna give it a try? If you’ve got the wall, some willing friends, and free Saturday, here are a few tips to get you rollin’:⁣
⁣
1. Choose your color, style, and pattern. Look at as many pics as you can, but since this is an accent wall, don’t be afraid to go bold.⁣
2. Read the instructions carefully. Seriously, skimming won’t do. There is more than one kind of paper and they aren’t all applied the same way. If you’re not careful, you’ll end up with a goopy mess instead of a stunning wall.⁣
3. Go ahead and cover the outlets as you go. When everything is dry, you go back and cut off the excess paper.⁣
4. Smooth wallpaper from the center towards the edge. This will get rid of air bubbles instead of just moving them around. ⁣
⁣
With these tips (and few easy-to-follow video tutorials), you can take a room from ho-hum to heck-yeah in just a few short hours.⁣
⁣
Wondering what other improvements you can make to your home that will offer a return when you sell? Send me a message -- I’d love to share the top upgrades for 2021!⁣

We all have one -- a room, niche, alcove, or outdo

We all have one -- a room, niche, alcove, or outdoor oasis that just “fits;” that when handed a few free hours and your favorite beverage beckons you to unwind, refresh, and recharge.⁣
⁣
Maybe it’s in your bedroom with a juicy book or binge-worthy show, in your kitchen laser-focused on an exotic recipe, or on your screened porch lounging with your four-legged BFF.⁣
⁣
What is that space for you? Where in your home do you go day after day to unwind? ⁣

It’s the Mount Everest of questions, the big one

It’s the Mount Everest of questions, the big one, the one everyone wonders about, but only a few are so bold to ask. ⁣
⁣
Drumroll, please…this week’s Frequently Asked Friday question: ⁣
⁣
Q: If I can sell my house by myself, WHY do I need an agent?⁣
⁣
A: You know what? It’s true. You CAN sell your home without an agent. But the better question is SHOULD you sell your home without an agent? ⁣
⁣
Consider this true scenario for one FSBO couple:⁣
• Saved $9,000 on agent commissions -- sounds great!⠀⁣
• Lost $19,000 on selling price -- sigh.⁣
⁣
Sadly, this isn’t uncommon. I see it all the time, and it usually plays out something like this: A seller puts their home up for sale by owner. Then, after weeks or months of frustration, they give me a call to bail them out and get the job done quickly. ⁣
⁣
Did you know, in fact, that 90% of FSBO FAIL to sell their home without an agent?⠀⁣
⁣
If you want maximum profit in minimum time, you need an agent. Statistics show an agent typically gets you 25% more on the sale completely covering agent commissions! ⁣
⁣
PLUS, you’ll gain an advocate , expert, and cheerleader who’s single goal is looking out for your best interest as you complete one of the largest transactions of your life!⁣
⁣
Considering selling by owner? I'd love to talk about the process and answer any questions you may have. Shoot me a message -- I'm here when you're ready!⁣
