Doom scrolling is one of my favorite past times😂
😂
One of The worst scrolling of all time..all those beatiful home that i want but have no money ..plus frustration that prices is so high..almost gave up and just keep renting to death
Same, I’m so good at it 😅
Facts 😂
SAAAAAMMMMEEE
There's also the saving phase :) took me 18 months to save $40k for my DP/CC on my own without help. Long af but doable with patience!
Awesome! 💪
Yeah, I've saved a little over 13k. I think that's enough lol. Time to jump!
@@radiantlibra87which state are you searching in?
This is the comment I needed to see. Saving up for a DP is most important. Thanks
Damn you must make a ton of money i only make 50k a year before taxes so you saved more money then i make in a year after taxes
We doom scrolled for a LONG time and I would easily get upset when houses I liked went under contract. Once we went through the pre-approval process and found a realtor, everything went really fast. In the time span of about 3 weeks, we saw about 6 houses, made 3 offers and are currently under contract in the home appraisal stage. We're so close I can't wait!
Congrats!
update??
@@202WinkProductions Sitting in the living room of that house right now. Not a regret to be had.
@ClassicGoldCigarettes that's fantastic!!!!
@ClassicGoldCigarettes congrats that's awesome! Were you able to get the house at the listing price? Every home around me right now in NJ (the decent ones) is going for over the asking price, sometimes $50k over, craziness.
Don't just walk the neighborhoods you're looking at..........drive around them at night. When you live in a city, a place can look nice in the daytime, but turn sketchy at night. It's changed how we look for places to live.
Hi there! Thanks for watching my video and for sharing your tip. It's definitely helpful to explore the neighborhood you're interested in both during the day and at night to get a better sense of what the area is like. If you're ready to take the next step, you can start a pre-qualification process at www.winthehouseyoulove.com/lender. Best of luck in your homebuying journey!
I’ve been looking since 2021 for my first home and your videos helped educated and guided me on so much . I finally closed on my first home March 22.
what state do u live in? and what kind of loan did you get ? im looking to buy soon
AYo !??? 2021 was mid covid interest rates where in the 2% !!?? Are you sure you’re actively trying to buy a house ?
Thank you for your video. I’m a single woman in my 30s ready to buy my first house and I don’t talk to my dad or have trust worthy people in my life to do this with me and I’m grateful for you 😊
Man! It's obvious you put a lot of work into this. Great work! It's very helpful!
Thank you! Appreciate it. :)
I really recommend you get a preapproval and use your buyer agent to your outmost advantage, if he is any good you will get many comps before you even make an offer to a home. As soon as a home enters the market the buyer agent will send an updated list of homes you have yet to see in your approval range. I got my preapproval in July 2022 by 3 different banks but my personal bank provided best offer and had a bonus that covered $3000 in closing cost, was shown about 10 homes, made 3 different offers and closed on 1. Buyer agent was able to recommend title agency, insurance, and home inspection. Really made it simple. First time home buyer.
Who is your personal bank?
@@p8p3r3dp3tals Chase Bank, I got preapproval from BofA and Wells Fargo as well.
Me and My fiance looked at houses for 1 day with a realtor. We came with a list of addresses we were looking at, and made the decision on what house to buy that same day. I was seeing too many bad deals (after we saw what was on the inside) for weeks online and recognized a decent deal even if it felt too soon to find and take. I'm very satisfied with our purchase, especially in the market we were looking at. Funny enough, most of what you are saying is things we did. Only thing i would on at the begginning is make sure you are REALLY looking for a house. It feels like a lot of people treat it like window shopping for a house vs really getting into it, and then they let a good deal slip by and refuse anthing less than what they found while they were only window shopping.
That’s really good advice!
Thanks for the info! ZILLOW DOOMSCROLLING IS SOOOO REAL! 🤣 Nice haircut, btw!
😂 Thanks for watching!
This is all great advice 👍 👌. A house is not an asset it takes money out of your pocket . You pay a mortgage, maintenance, taxes, insurance, and utilities yearly. Buy within your means and enjoy your home stress free ✨️ 😉
I watched this video two weeks ago, got my mortgage broker and realtor in the same week, house shopped and put in an offer in the same day, and now my closing date is in 40 days. I was expecting everything to take months, but I guess I found the right mortgage lender, realtor and home at the right time. Fingers crossed!
Timing your home buying around the time your lease is up .
Give your self about 6 months to clean up your credit.
Talk with your lender on what paperwork u will need to provide and put it all in a folder that’s easily accessed .
Build your down payment and it has to have aged in your bank account so they know it’s your money .
Fix your debt to income ratio .
Have email access on your phone so u can give all the necessary info that u have in your folder in a timely manner and follow the same day to make sure they got it this cut down the buying process a lot .
“Seeing homes and wondering and why you’re not able to purchase one” 😂 definitely me as I scroll through Zillow.
😂
Wow how you’ve grown lol . I remember I used to watch alllllll your videos 2 months prior to me purchasing my home last year in may ❤ thank you ! All the info really helped me understand what the banks don’t even tell you . Like the what they look for when they ask you to send in all those documents they ask for ect…
This is so helpful! I've been feeling so overwhelmed knowing that there is much to do, but not sure which order to expect it in. This video really helped put me at ease. Thank you!
I have a 2 year plan. Knocking debt down completely and adding income. Plus fixing up my current home. Im selling and moving out of state.
Hi! I’m a realtor - most closing processes take at least 60 days. Some take a lot longer, I just worked on closing a co-op sale with a difficult board, and that closing took well over 75 days.
Hey there Small People, thank you for sharing your experience with us! You're absolutely right that the closing process can take some time, especially in certain situations. It's always important to have an experienced team working with you to ensure everything goes smoothly and as quickly as possible.

Thanks for watching!
So...is this a residential purchase?? Difficult board??
@@kiaharper7172 cooop
60-day closing process! I just sold my place and closed in 21 days. Then I bought my new place and closed in about 28 days. The lender doesn’t even start working on your file until the last week and a half 🤦🏽♂️
Here’s the problem. People that are in “decent shape” enough to buy a home “right now”…are technically only ready to buy when it was 4 years ago. Yes, 2019. People still make what they make, but prices and rates are WAY higher, and there’s no “affordable” home inventory.
I went from being prequalified for upwards of $380k a year ago, to $150k now because of rates.
There weren’t any homes I could afford in my area when rates were 2.7%. Prices haven’t gone done, not many starter homes hitting the market at all.
What’s the point?
Worst time in history to buy.
Yeah..i make more money now after paying off 45 k in loans ..cars payment ..loans payment ..but stuck since houses so expensive..interest rate so high ..no way i can afford a 4000 k ler month when i can renting 1900 a month ..
@@robertnguyen2025 and same here for me!! Paid off all credit cards over a couple years (about 2/3rds what you had), saved a down payment, perfect credit……
Would have to virtually double my income, and my income is considered to be good too.
It will change and already starting. There's always a way to get what you want also. Always a loophole, always another strategy.
Can you elaborate?
@@ArisenMind this is sarcasm, right??🤣🤣
his voice is so relaxing to listen to 🫠💖
My husband and I just finished the application to get the pre-approval to see what we qualify for and honestly your videos have been golden these last couple of weeks thank you so much
Put this to work and closed on a home last week! Took longer than I expected (It was new construction) but otherwise everything in this video was right on the money. Legitimately reviewing needs versus wants BEFORE going on an engaged house search was a massive help in filtering through listings.
Hey YorinLuck! Thanks for watching the video and congratulations on closing your new home!
I followed your steps and have been in my home since 2022! At 28 all I can say is it can be done. Thank you for all the amazing info. We would not have gotten this far without you.
In California too forgot to mention
Your voice is perfect. ❤ Thanks for the info.
Anxiety and frustration. Nailed it right on the head. Are you a therapist on the side? Lol
No but seriously this was very helpful, comforting, and substantive. The most frustrating part lately has been the lack of inventory= lack of affordable homes.
Took the words out my mouth.
So helpful ! I love your content ! The knowledge helped me buy my first house last month ❤
Thanks for watching! :)
Great Video as usual Kyle
This video is TIMELESS! Thank you.

"Doom scrolling" lol I am guilty. I'm glad I found this.
Doing an inspection on my new house tomorrow. Wish me luck. I signed the contract on viewing day. I think the realtor liked the promptness.
Thank you for making this. Super helpful💯
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching. :)
Great video and the best point is at 17:35 talking about the most underrated part you say, which is super important to walk/drive the neighborhood to get the vibe of where you're spending your hard earned money to spend years there living.
Hi Sushi Sniper, thank you for watching the video and taking the time to leave a comment. I'm glad you found the point at 17:35 helpful.

Thank you for this break down!
Of course! Thanks for watching. :)
We have been trying for three years. We have been told you need more money but you make too much for help. Now you need more, and now more...now we cant find a house we like with a payment we can stomach.
My first house when I was poor I got right away...wish I hadnt sold it...
Great game plan thanks
Love watching your video!
Thank you!
Thank you so much for the information provided
My pleasure! Thanks for watching. :)
Great info thanks ❤
Such a great breakdown 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
🙌🏾 Thank you!!
Can you explain why the home inspection comes after the buyer makes an offer? Is there an opportunity to get that done before the offer to help inform the buyer's offer price/negotiation?
Nice video, but in this current market there really isn't much back and forth between buyers and sellers right now. Any half decent property will set a final and best deadline for offers and then pick whichever one goes the highest over asking with the fewest contingencies.
This is not true for every market in the country. Some markets such as yours may be this way. There are plenty of other markets in decline that there is negotiation going on. The housing market isn't national but very much local.
All markets are different. This is just general guidance :)
Thanks for the replies. My market is still really tough with houses selling within a day or 2 after listing well above the listing price and with numerous concessions from the buyer. (I'm in Pittsburgh).
@@dpj731 same here, and in general, “affordable” (small) homes are simply not for sale. There are no starter homes, no small homes. Nobody in those homes can afford to leave them, they cannot afford to move up, many are too afraid of this economy.
Helpful! Thrown in the mix is I have a maximum resale value on my current deed restricted home and an out of state job offer with a strict start date 😂 and it’s mid-school year for my special needs son. God can do this!!!

That’s what I did for awhile…doomscrolling. I wasn’t ready mentally yet either and back then I could not deal with the COVID frenzy. So then I just put it all on the back burner.
What is harder for me is “decide what you actually want.” It’s also more like what I want is more to do with what I can manage to get for my budget price.
Do you have any advice on how to “shop” all that time in another state? (When moving out of state). How does one actually keep up and be ready to roll if they’re not living there yet?
Thanks Kyle your awesome ❤

Where I live the houses are under contract prior to being posted on Zillow because the real estate agents buy them from their clients so that they can rent them out. Major conflict of interest
That sucks!

Home values will continue to fall well beyond a decade. Too many people locked in record low rates, for RECORD HIGH COSTS. Prices only need to decline about -10% for catastrophic results. Risky HELOCS, Airbnb busts, and decade long value declines, combined with commercial real estate in the red, across the board. Foreclosures are only now starting to uptick. Supply is increasing, NATIONALLY. This bottom won't show until the mid 2030's at the earliest. -40% when the dust settles. God bless, America.

Question can u buy tiny home pre-built
Me and my mom just veiwed a house we were looking at for 1 week and we both looked at said house more than 3 times a day. We are in LOVE. Any tips to help her get over the stress and anxiety. Also it would be my first time having my own room so im excited. But we would have to buy water softner, fridge and washer, and dryer. Is that a deal breaker, or should it be?
Is it bad this video first caught my attention because of how good looking he is? 😅
i spent 2 years and put in 12 offers. Im looking for walkable areas and refuse to own a car as its a pointless expense in the remote age. turns out everyone in the city wants walkability in American cities, but America doesnt like to build practical hosing so its scarce
i realized after a long hard look im better off moving overseas to avoid being house poor and still being able to retire . i have a very high income, but unfortunately my competition also has a high income and Im starting much later then them . Ill just have to save even more and make the leap. I will own a home it just not in the cards in America.
Very nicely broken down

I guess I will stop searching Alpine, NJ this year
I’m building a home ..I’ve been planning for an entire year. It’s exhausting
A big issue me and my partner ran into was the closing time on our townhome, a tenant was given a 90 day notice to move out and we waited and stressed out that entire period of time about the move-in. Of course if it's a good deal go for it, but be realistic about the period of time you're willing to stress out about moving in.
Thank you for sharing your experience. It's important to manage expectations and be prepared for unexpected delays in the mortgage process.
How does this process go when you’re wanting to buy a new build home that isn’t set to be built for a few months out?? 🤔
That video would it be helpful 4 years ago!! Congrats if you can find a good deal in 3 months!
$20k-$30k down is good in California
Could you do one for a 6-month plan?
It would be helpful to know the responsibilities of a lender. The last slide was helpful. But a little unclear to me on what is the lender responsibility and what is the home buyer responsibility. Who does the title search? Do we hire someone or lender does. Appraisal you mentioned lender sends. Home inspection I assume is done by the homeowner. Do we need to hire a real estate attorney? If so what is there responsibility?
A good realtor will guide you through all this and take their cut on it. Honestly I consider the side stuff as part of their job
recently im seeing so many people say they expected the process to be grueling but it was short lived and simple for them. weird. because i also expected it to be grueling but i guess not.
It's not as terrible as people think it will be!
QUESTION: We were told to save a bunch more for a down payment. (1st time home buyers). We want to withdraw money each payperiod and put it in a safe to prevent the possibility of spending it. However, when we go to deposit it, will lenders dispute the "large deposit". We were thinking of just keeping withdraw slips and having them scanned into a PDF to prove that it original came from a verifiable source of income (primary jobs) over time and does add up to what we would be evenually depositing. Would this be sufficent? The amount would be about 40k.
Just deposit it into a separate bank account that you don’t use
Could cause issue o how u got money . Even u get money as a gift they have put it in writing . They usually want to see money in your bank account that has been their for a couple of weeks . If u still have t bough the house yet I would write down all my question I have and call my lender to see if their is any issues with your plan . But my advice would be to buy a cheaper home if u feel u are struggling with a lot impulse buys . And one of the major rules when buying a house is not to open any new lines of credit are charge your credit cards since that will throw your financial numbers off

What is the process if we were to buy a brand new modular home, like with Pratt homes? Do I still need a realtor?
Hey Van G! Great question. When buying a modular home, the process can be a bit different than a traditional home. With a company like Pratt Homes, they might have their sales team to help you, so you don't necessarily need a realtor. However, having a realtor can still be beneficial to represent your interests and help you navigate the process.

The narrowing down neighborhoods is hard when you want to move from out of state.
Makes sense! When moving to a place you're unfamiliar with, I think renting for at least a few month is the best option. It's unlikely you'll be able to narrow down a neighborhood you'll love and want to spend 5+ years in without living in the area for a while

How would this process be any different if you are just looking for land instead of land and a home? sorry for the noob question am new to this whole process
Hey Trevor, no worries at all, we all start somewhere! The process can be slightly different when you're just purchasing land. Some lenders might require a larger down payment and the loan terms could vary depending on the land's location and whether it's already developed or not.
My fiance currently has a mortgage on his house, and once we buy a house together, he will be renting it out (hiring a management company). How will this affect us purchasing a home?
Hey Torenperkins! Great question. When your fiance rents out his current house, the rental income can actually help offset the mortgage payment on that property. Lenders will usually consider a percentage of the rental income (typically around 75%) when calculating your debt-to-income ratio for the new home purchase. Just keep in mind that you generally need a signed lease and sometimes proof of the security deposit to use the rental income.

Do you think this timeline is still good if you are moving across the country?
Hey Beth! Great question. The timeline can still be pretty accurate even if you're moving across the country. However, it might have some minor adjustments due to logistical issues with relocation. Just keep in touch with your lender and real estate agent to make sure everyone's on the same page.

Kyle,
Very informative. From a maintenance perspective for a first time home buyer is a new build or older construction better?
Hey Rodney, great question! Both have their pros and cons. New builds typically have fewer maintenance issues initially since everything's brand new. Older homes, on the other hand, might require some upgrading but they often have unique character that new builds lack. It really depends on your personal preference and your readiness to handle potential repairs. If you have more questions or are ready to start a pre-qualification, just head over to www.winthehouseyoulove.com/lender
Do you think it’s completely necessary to have a realtor? Or can you basically do everything yourself?
Hey DodgeDurangoFam! Great question! Having a realtor can definitely be helpful, particularly for navigating the market, negotiating, and handling the paperwork. However, it is possible to do everything yourself if you're willing to put in the time and effort. If you decide to go it alone, just make sure you're well informed on the process.
