🎙️EPISODE TWENTY-TWO When you are buying a house, it is important to choose the right loan option. A loan provides your business with the capital it needs to grow and succeed. However, identifying the best loan in buying a house is no easy task. It involves an analysis of your overall financial situation and negotiating skills. The right loan will help you pay off the mortgage over time and may also include home equity that can be used for other purposes. There are many different types of loans available for real estate investors, and each has its own unique terms and conditions. Each type has its own benefits and drawbacks, so you’ll want to consider which one best suits your situation before applying. 🗝️WELCOME TO BEYOND THE KEYS🗝️ A Pat Lotz Real Estate Podcast where we take a deep dive into all the craziness that goes on behind the scenes in the Real Estate World and more specifically what Pat and Chris experience on a day-to-day basis!

🎙️EPISODE TWENTY-ONE When you buy a house, you want to make sure that everything works properly and that there aren't any major defects or issues. At the same time, your agent will want to avoid any surprises during the inspection process. After all, marketing a property with major problems could have an adverse impact on their commission. If a buyer discovers hidden defects after they have moved in and after they have signed their mortgage then they may decide to cancel their mortgage and ask for their deposit back. A good and secured disclosure form would help you avoid these issues altogether. 🗝️WELCOME TO BEYOND THE KEYS🗝️ A Pat Lotz Real Estate Podcast where we take a deep dive into all the craziness that goes on behind the scenes in the Real Estate World and more specifically what Pat and Chris experience on a day-to-day basis!

🎙️EPISODE TWENTY Just as in other industries and professions, trust is crucial in the real estate industry. Without it, there can be no valid business relationship and no smooth transaction for either party. Transparent communication at every step of the way builds trust and ensures that both parties understand each other's needs and concerns, so that a deal can be reached that is beneficial to both. When problems arise after a transaction has been completed by both parties, even with good intentions and clear communication, it is essential for both parties to honor their commitments and do what they said they would do. No one wants to deal with integrity issues once a contract has been finalized, so this should be foremost in everyone's minds from start to finish. 🗝️WELCOME TO BEYOND THE KEYS🗝️ A Pat Lotz Real Estate Podcast where we take a deep dive into all the craziness that goes on behind the scenes in the Real Estate World and more specifically what Pat and Chris experience on a day-to-day basis!

🎙️EPISODE NINETEEN There is an ongoing trend of millennial parents providing free housing to their adult children. However, it's a bad idea and has surprising consequences. The most important thing to teach your children is financial literacy, like getting them into credit cards to build their credit score for future loans. It is important for parents to explain to their children the value of money. Children need to learn that they can't always get what they want with their parents' hard earned cash, or else they would grow to be adults who become clueless about what they are getting themselves into, especially in the realm of finances. 🗝️WELCOME TO BEYOND THE KEYS🗝️ A Pat Lotz Real Estate Podcast where we take a deep dive into all the craziness that goes on behind the scenes in the Real Estate World and more specifically what Pat and Chris experience on a day-to-day basis!
