Lessons from the Coronavirus

Recently one of my associates and their family took to vlogging the once in a lifetime experience, which is living through the lockdown and the coronavirus. And while many of us on the side lines are enjoying the crazy memes that are coming out of this pandemic, they came up with lessons they have learned from COVID-19. I always enjoy a good laugh, but I love me my lessons more. The source of this can be found here. Here are the lessons:

1) Proper hygiene is not being OCD
2) Save money for a rainy day
3) My kids will survive home school
4) Slow down and smell the coffee
5) It's ok to have ups and downs, you are human
6) Go against the grain, Jesus did
7) No more stressing about work, it's a privilege to serve the community
8) Health is Wealth
9) Buy Toilet Paper on sale and hoard it

In case you feel like sharing or reposting, it has conveniently been turned into a GIF!
The only thing I would add is, be good to your fellow humans-together we can get through anything. What would you say you have learned during the coronavirus? I would love to hear the 9 things you feel you have learned! Otherwise, if there is anything you need help with-don't hesitate to me know! Stay safe and healthy!

Your First Home: Step 8-Protect Your Investment

Welcome to the world of home ownership, besides feeling like you signed your life away-how does it feel? You may find yourself feeling pride of ownership, because you now in fact own something. But with great power comes great responsibility-home maintenance. One of the best resources for you, even after the transaction, is going to be your real estate agent. Chances are, if you need a specific kind of vendor-they have one they trust and can refer you to. Home maintenance falls into two categories: Keep it clean and keep an eye on it. Review the maintenance needs for your home once you are settled in plan for regular service. If you notice something different, investigate it and fix it. A small problem not treated turns into a massively more expensive problem when ignored. Be sure to also read your home warranty, some of the repairs that come up may be covered. Also, have reserves set up for “Life Happens” situations. Finally, the most important part, Housewarming Party! Nothing w...

How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Coronavirus

Greetings, Today I wanted to simply jot down some thoughts I had about this novel coronavirus (COVID-19) that the news cycle seems to love to talk about: - Will real estate values be affected? The answer is the same as every real estate question, it depends. I believe luxury will be impacted, I think more modest dwellings will not, and for a very simple reason, there is not more inventory and people have to live somewhere. - Is this our 1987 moment? In 1987 we had Black Monday, the biggest one day stock market drop in history, afterwards, real estate prices went up in a straight line for 18 months. Just like any good investor, when there is a shock to the system, you have to recalibrate, you either go to safety (or even relative safety, like houses versus paper ownership in a company), or you go to what has been undervalued. I suspect there is a good chance this is our 1987 moment for real estate. The 80's are dead, long live the 80's. - The drop in stock price...

Your First Home: Step 7-Close

We got through the home inspection, that was intense. What’s next? Why, title and appraisal of course! We are in the home stretch; you can do this. As the lender is finalizing the mortgage, they are doing a little bit more digging: appraisal to confirm the value, survey to confirm the boundaries, title to verify ownership, and title insurance. Appraisers will look at the home and comps to determine what they think the home is worth and relay this to you and the lender. The lender will only write a loan for the home’s appraised value, so if there is a difference between selling price and appraisal price-buyer and seller have to come together to cover the gap. Therefore, it is important to create a win-win situation, both parties have to work together at times. Survey is to determine where the homes boundaries are and are not. You would be surprised how many times a neighbor’s fence may be on your property due to boundaries of each property being forgotten over time and various homeo...
