So let's talk about some of 32 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 1: these other fees, right, because we know about the mortgage. 33 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 1: Some people know about the property tax, we know about 34 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 1: homeowners insurance. But there's some other fees that wait. 35 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,559 Speaker 2: But before we go to other slots, So because we didn't, 36 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 2: we didn't. I just want to make sure people get 37 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 2: that the whole thing. So can we go back to that. 38 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 2: Can we go back to the slot? 39 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 3: Ye? 40 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 2: So utilities is a big one because this is why 41 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 2: a lot of people using you know, different type of 42 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,360 Speaker 2: energy efficient things for their homes and that that that 43 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 2: can save a lot of money, right and even setting 44 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 2: up utility a lot of times as a process, water, gas, 45 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 2: all that type of stuff. And then of course the 46 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,959 Speaker 2: homeowner's insurance. But the homeowners insurance is vitally important now, 47 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 2: especially you look at California fires, you look at Florida, 48 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 2: you look at floods. So, okay, the taxes we we 49 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 2: just talked about that, that's important. The mortgage is pretty 50 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,919 Speaker 2: going to be straightforward as far as on the bank side, 51 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 2: you shouldn't understand those terms. But this homeowner's insurance and 52 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 2: the utilities can you can you talk about that because 53 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 2: that's that's something that people need to really have an 54 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 2: understanding of what they're getting themselves into before they actually 55 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 2: get the home. 56 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 3: Absolutely, so let's jump into utilities. If you're looking for 57 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,920 Speaker 3: a single family home, it would be ideal and I 58 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 3: want you to write this down. Oftentimes agents don't do this. 59 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 3: Ask the previous homeowners to provide you with a statement 60 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 3: of what their utility bills are, like, what are they're 61 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 3: paying on average for their light bill? What are they 62 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 3: paying on average for their gas bill? Those are two 63 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 3: controllable expenses that you don't really consider when you're buying 64 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 3: a home. Why is this important. Let's just say you're 65 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 3: buying a five thousand square foot home on a basement 66 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 3: and you're coming from a two bedroom apartment that's maybe 67 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 3: thirteen hundred square feet. The difference in the amount of 68 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 3: heat that's required to heat that space, the amount of 69 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 3: HVAC that's required to cool that space, it could be 70 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 3: almost the cost of it could really be thousands of dollars. 71 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 3: So while you're out here assessing what your expenses should be, 72 00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 3: ensure that you get that information from the current homeowner 73 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 3: before making your purchase. So utilities are such a big deal. 74 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 3: And then when we talk about homeowners homeowners association fees, 75 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 3: So you guys are in New York, so a lot 76 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 3: of times you guys are buy not y'all, you know, 77 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 3: you deserve to be rich, but a lot of people 78 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 3: are buying condos, townhouses, things like that, and there are 79 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 3: a lot of times those fees are included. So you 80 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,279 Speaker 3: get into an HOA, they'll say, here's an additional I 81 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,600 Speaker 3: saw a condo here in Atlanta where the hoafee is 82 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 3: fourteen hundred dollars a month, but it includes the utilities, 83 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 3: and then it includes amenities so it includes so it 84 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 3: kind of offsets, but you have to understand how that 85 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,799 Speaker 3: will affect your monthly payment. So hoafees is a huge deal. 86 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 3: I think we get a big bad rep. I don't 87 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 3: want a house in the HOA. It's good to it 88 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 3: and it's not so good. The good parts of it 89 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 3: HOA is if you are in a neighborhood, a single 90 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 3: family neighborhood, and everybody has to maintain the exterior a 91 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 3: certain way. Everybody has to maintain the grass their a 92 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,840 Speaker 3: certain way. It actually helps with your value appreciation. You're 93 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 3: gonna hear me say value appreciation a lot because I 94 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 3: want you to understand that is the number one reason 95 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,720 Speaker 3: for getting into real estate and owning a property is 96 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 3: value appreciation and ownership. That's it. So of course HOA 97 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 3: fees is something you need to consider and see what 98 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 3: they're what's included in that, And then routine maintenance. I 99 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 3: most recently was consulting with someone and they have to 100 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:33,359 Speaker 3: get an entire new HVAC system. They got a quote 101 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 3: for twenty thousand dollars. Like, you can't call the landlord. 102 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 3: You are the landlord. You are in charge of those 103 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:45,600 Speaker 3: fee of that maintenance. So getting routine maintenance on your 104 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,479 Speaker 3: property and accounting for those additional expenses. I hate to 105 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 3: scare people. Everybody has this scare tactic. I'm gonna tell you, 106 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 3: and this is not even like. Look into any type 107 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 3: of home warranty companies that offer complete protection. So when 108 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 3: you get a home warn company that helps you with 109 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 3: the room team maintenance. So instead of you being responsible 110 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,280 Speaker 3: for that twenty thousand dollars fee to replace the system, 111 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 3: if you were paying a monthly fee into a home 112 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 3: warranty company, then you could call them the same way 113 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,359 Speaker 3: you would call your landlord. Why do I want to 114 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 3: say this because I'm sick of people try to scare 115 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,280 Speaker 3: people into not owning a home, saying my landlord can 116 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,039 Speaker 3: pay for that. Well, if you were paying a fifty 117 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 3: dollars fee per month and your HVAC system went out tomorrow, 118 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 3: you would be able to call your home warranty company 119 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 3: to cover it. So don't allow these expenses to scare you. 120 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,160 Speaker 3: But be very aware that these expenses are there. So 121 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 3: your job is to protect yourself. So again, unexpected expenses 122 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 3: are going to happen. You're going to have to get 123 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 3: your gutters cleaned every year. You're going to have to 124 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 3: get your extere of your property pressure washed every year. 125 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 3: Some people do it every quarter. You have to consider 126 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,280 Speaker 3: that you want a home inspector to come inspect your 127 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 3: property every single year, not just when you buy the home. 128 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 3: When you initially buy the home, you do get a 129 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 3: home inspection because you're negotiating with the seller for any 130 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 3: defects in the property and you don't want to purchase 131 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 3: a property with the defect. But what happens when you 132 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 3: live in a home. There could be underground links that 133 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 3: you are not aware of that continue to happen. Your 134 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 3: HVAC could be at the bottom of like at the 135 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 3: end of its lifespan. So you get a home inspection 136 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 3: every single year. That's about five or six hundred dollars. 137 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 3: But what it does is preventative maintenance. That preventative maintenance 138 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 3: now you can call your home warranty and your handyman 139 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 3: to address issues before they become too expensive. No one 140 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 3: talks about that type of maintenance, but that's what it 141 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 3: requires to maintain a home. So outside of that, you 142 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 3: have the utilities, you have the just maintaining the integrity 143 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 3: of your property. But then you also got to account 144 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,239 Speaker 3: for certain things. And I'm going to focus on single 145 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 3: family homes because it's completely different maintenance than having a condo. 146 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 3: A single family home, you may want to take into 147 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 3: your budget, at what point do I have to replace 148 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 3: the roof? And an average roof span is fifteen to 149 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 3: twenty five years, so you have to think about that. 150 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 3: At what point do I have to replace the hvac system? 151 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 3: They keep changing the free on and the diferent things 152 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 3: in the HVAC system. That's typically five to ten years. 153 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 3: Some of them are saying twenty years. So what you 154 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 3: want to do is budget that get and I will 155 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 3: not stress this enough, get a home warranty. Get a 156 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 3: home warranty, and then make sure when you purchase your 157 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 3: property you're getting scheduled and consistent maintenance of your home that. 158 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 1: Is not There's a part here, like we talked about 159 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 1: the homeowners insurance, but most people don't know about mortgage insurance. 160 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: And I'm assuming if a lot of people are doing 161 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 1: being first time home owners and they don't have the 162 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 1: twenty five percent down payment or twenty percent down payment, 163 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 1: they're going to flow in this category. So talk about 164 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,079 Speaker 1: what that is and kind of give it like an 165 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: explanation of what mortgage insurance actually entails. 166 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, so mortgage insurance covers the lender. Mortgage insurance does 167 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 3: not cover your property. It covers the lender in case 168 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 3: you default on the loan. So when you're paying mortgage insurance, 169 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,200 Speaker 3: a lot of people are like, do I have to 170 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 3: pay it? Yes, you have to pay mortgage insurance unless 171 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,679 Speaker 3: you're putting twenty percent down. If you're putting less than 172 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:05,319 Speaker 3: twenty percent down. At some point, though, what does happen? 173 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 3: You do pay the private mortgage insurance. But at some 174 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 3: point when you have invested more than twenty percent towards 175 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 3: the principle of your mortgage, you can actually call your 176 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 3: mortgage lender and say, hey, I have invested this much. 177 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 3: I want the mortgage insurance to come off. The mortgage 178 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 3: insurance will not cover your house if it's damaged. The 179 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 3: mortgage surance insurance doesn't cover your house, God forbid, if 180 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:31,320 Speaker 3: there's a fire. It only covers the lender because the 181 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 3: lender is taking a chance on you because you don't 182 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 3: have enough skin in the game. You have enough skin 183 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 3: in the game for them to say, hey, we're going 184 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 3: to give you this mortgage, but you're putting less than 185 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 3: twenty percent down, So we need insurance on top of 186 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,439 Speaker 3: what on top of what we're giving you, just in 187 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 3: case you default and you cannot satisfy the loan. That 188 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 3: is what mortgage insurance is, and you can't get around it. 189 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,599 Speaker 2: So what's some best practices as far as for the 190 00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 2: homeowners insurance? 191 00:09:58,600 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 3: Right? 192 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 2: For the homeowner insurance, what's best practice that people should 193 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 2: be aware of getting homeowner insurance policy? 194 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 3: You get what you pay for cheaper is not always better. 195 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 3: And I feel like oftentimes when you're shopping with different 196 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 3: home insurance companies, and I have great relationships with homeowners 197 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 3: insurance companies, you're just thinking this is going to affect 198 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 3: my monthly payment. It is. They take the calculation of 199 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 3: what it will cost you for twelve months and then 200 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,559 Speaker 3: you're paying on it every single month as a part 201 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 3: of your ES growth. Your ES grows include your insurance 202 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 3: and your taxes. Right, So when you're thinking about, okay, 203 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 3: I have to pay this amount, I would say shop 204 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 3: and tell them the truth. If you have three Rolex 205 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 3: rotches in the house, right, and you just did an 206 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,080 Speaker 3: upgrade in your kitchen and did soft clothed cabinets and 207 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 3: Wolf appliances. You need to tell your insurance company about this, 208 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 3: because what happens is you're getting insured that the house 209 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,479 Speaker 3: will say you buy a house with you know ge appliances. 210 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 3: You're just happy to own a home. You read the 211 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,440 Speaker 3: book I Deserve to Be Rich. You do a stock 212 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 3: option play, and now you want to renovate your kitchen 213 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 3: now and you go and do this whole renovation. It's 214 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 3: one hundred thousand dollars renovation, and you don't report it 215 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 3: to your homeowners insurance company. What happens in the interim 216 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,440 Speaker 3: if your house catches on fire, like I said, like 217 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 3: what happened in La and things like that, if you 218 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 3: never paid the difference in that cost, it's not covered. 219 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 3: So that's why keeping up with your homeowner's insurance and 220 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 3: making sure that you tell your preferred insurance agency the 221 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:30,079 Speaker 3: truth about your assets. They can understand how much it 222 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 3: would cost to actually rebuild the property. Because there's different 223 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 3: levels to insurance, cheaper is never better. I will always say, 224 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 3: be educated about the level of insurance that you receive 225 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,560 Speaker 3: so in case something happens, because that is what insurance 226 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 3: is for your cover. 227 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 2: And then also it's important because they had a study 228 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 2: that like I think thirty percent of homeowners actually they're 229 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 2: paying more money and all the ancillary stuff than the 230 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:57,599 Speaker 2: actual mortgage. So you got to have a budget. You 231 00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 2: got to have an idea of how much money you're 232 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 2: going to spend because if not, if your budget is 233 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 2: like twenty five hundred and your mortgage is two thousand, 234 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 2: you think that I got a five hundred dollars surplus. 235 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,320 Speaker 2: But then when you add all these utilities and the taxes, 236 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:14,679 Speaker 2: and then the insurance and then you know maintenance upkeep, 237 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,440 Speaker 2: and the budget is actually your two thousand dollars a 238 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,959 Speaker 2: month mortgage actually turns into forty five hundred dollars a 239 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 2: month that you actually end up spending. That causes a 240 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 2: lot of problems. 241 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, and one of those taxes that I don't even 242 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 1: see in there is school tax. Right, Like everybody wants 243 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 1: to live in a great neighborhood and go to the 244 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,679 Speaker 1: great school. Well that cost and so that that's something 245 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 1: that's getting paid semi annuary or sometimes quarterly. So just 246 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:42,440 Speaker 1: keep that in mind, like when you want to move 247 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: to that great neighborhood, because it's preceded school. The people 248 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 1: that own property there, they're paying school taxes, which is 249 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,439 Speaker 1: another amount that you're gonna have to put into that 250 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 1: that budget that you apparently thought you had when you 251 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:54,439 Speaker 1: were starting to buying process. 252 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 3: Oh and this is one thing I want to tell 253 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,560 Speaker 3: you guys that I'm a I'm a professional, right, so 254 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,840 Speaker 3: this should that happened to me, But it happened to 255 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:05,239 Speaker 3: me too. With homeowners insurance one of my investment properties. 256 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 3: I'm just like, why is this monthly note so high? 257 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,080 Speaker 3: What happened? Right? I did put down twenty percent, so 258 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 3: I just pay yearly. I pay annually. And it slipped 259 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 3: my mind to renegotiate the terms of my homeowner's insurance policy. 260 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 3: So they increased my homeowner's insurance policy beyond the limit 261 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 3: that I wanted, was comfortable with. So always remember you 262 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 3: have to advocate for yourself and every year when it's 263 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 3: time to renew that policy. You do know, you don't 264 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 3: have to be stuck with who you started with. You 265 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,680 Speaker 3: can actually shop around. Let them know you're shopping around, 266 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 3: Shop three different people. Tell them you're shopping. Get the 267 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 3: lowest rate, and then every but get the lowest rate 268 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 3: that has the highest coverage. Let me say that one 269 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 3: more time. Get the lowest rate, that has the highest coverage, 270 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 3: and that will help with controlling your overhead expenses. 271 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 1: Timely importantly important. 272 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 4: All right, So, an illegal alien from Guatemala charged with 273 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,680 Speaker 4: raping a child in Massachusetts.
