    By the time you save the down-payment, the house you want will be even more expensive.

      @ E Travis it is best to have patience and wait. Interest rates will eventually go down. Just save in the meantime and pay the 20%.

    Hi Shaheedah! I have been watching your videos for a year. I bought your first time homeowner’s guide and purchased my first home on April 5, 2023! Thank you so much for all of your videos! They were very informative!

      Your videos in the package were very helpful! The fact that the videos are in order of the buying process was helpful. The interviews with the underwriters, inspectors, appraisers, etc. were very helpful. Example: The interview with the inspector prompted me to have someone inspect the sewage line which is not a normal inspection. My realtor asked me “why”. I said because “I watched a video that said I should”. I am glad I had the sewage done.
      The appraiser explained what is appraised which is the space above ground. The underwriter explained that if you owe the IRS, that pops effects debt to ratio. So to be on the safe side, I filed after closing.
      So many great tips. The checklist was helpful to determine how long appliances last. The package was so worth the price. Thank you so much. ❤️

    This is such an important question to answer before diving into the home buying process. It's easy to get caught up in the excitement of searching for a new home, but understanding how much you need to save can help you avoid financial stress in the long run. Thanks for sharing your insights and tips on how to calculate the magic number!

    I've been stressed that I wouldn't be able to save enough to put 20% down by the time I had hoped to buy, so hearing that its not the end of the world to put down less than that is really comforting. This makes me realize that I'm doing better than I thought I was on savings.

    I swear I hate living in NYC because none of these rules apply here. To buy a co-op minimum down payment is 20% and cost can start at 500K so that’s $100,000 minimum you need to put down. SIGH I’m jealous of everyone who lives in low-medium cost areas. Ok end of rant.

    • @bumblebay9559

      Lots of Co-ops and condos in Florida require 20/25% down, depending on how much HOA has in reserves could disqualify u from getting a loan.

    This may be a strange question but how does the 7% change if I want to include buying down rate (whether seller or buyer paid) to lower monthly cost?

    • @ShaheedahHill
      @ShaheedahHill  Год назад +1

      If you plan to buy down your rate you will need to save more, it is usually around 1% of the loan amount to save a quarter of a point. But you need to make sure it makes sense to buy down your rate. Here is my video on points. ruclips.net/video/a2T0a-0gzsw/видео.html

    What should you do if you aren't approved for down-payment assistance? My mortgage lender said since I make above the average I can't get down-payment assistance.

    • @ShaheedahHill
      @ShaheedahHill  Год назад +2

      Other options: Chenoa, 100% financing, USDA, try to save at least 3-3.5 and get the seller to cover the rest. More details on all of these in my mortgage options playlist

    Very informative. But let’s say you put down 5% down payment, how many years will you paying PMI?

    • @YellowStarrx3
      @YellowStarrx3 Год назад +1

      I believe she said if you pay less than 10% you pay PMI for the life of the loan. Check out right around 4mins she states it.

    • @ShaheedahHill
      @ShaheedahHill  Год назад +1

      For FHA loans you will pay PMI for the life of the loan, unless you put at least 10% down. If you put 10% down you will pay for 11 years. For conventional when you reach 20% equity you can get the PMI removed. Thanks for watching!

      It would be similar, find an agent in the city you want to move to and get pre-approved with a lender.
