We Want to Know... Why Are You Still Renting?? | Ep. 142
Description
“Activity breads activity!”
In today's episode, Sandy and Bryant break down what happens when homebuyers, sellers and realtors alike step out and take their first step towards a goal... move your feet and watch the progress!
If you're renting and you feel stuck... we recommend you take these first (and easy) first steps and we dare you to watch what happens:
1. Dream of what home ownership could look like for you:
- Download Zillow
- Start pinning on Pintrest
- Ask yourself where you want to be in 5-10-20 years
2. Call a trusted Realtor
- Find someone who enjoys educating, dreaming and counseling
- Make sure your Realtor is capable of building you a plan
- Find an Agent that is there for you for the long game
- Talk to a Lender:
- A great mortgage broker can find a loan package that’s right for you
- Lenders should be educators and counselors
- Don’t settle for a quick “no” from a Lender… search for a Lender that will find you a “Yes!”
So with that said… we want to hear from you! Why are you still Renting??
Here are three phrases we’re hearing lately that keep Buyers on the sideline:
- “Interest Payments over 30 years is too high and so it’s a bad investment.”
- “Real estate is too inflated and risky to invest in. Renting is safer.”
- “My dad/boss/best friend/co-worker says buying real estate is a bad investment right now.”
There are legitimate reasons to rent and there are legitimate risks to purchasing a real estate! Make sure you get the counsel you deserve before making your decision!
