Everybody knows 18 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,039 Speaker 2: obviously we in. You know the age of Corona, and 19 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 2: I remember texting you like when when Corona first hit. 20 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 2: I'm like, yo, that's when the stock market was crashing, 21 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,039 Speaker 2: and I'm like, there's real estate market about the crash, 22 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 2: and he was like, nah, it's not And I'm like, 23 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,680 Speaker 2: how people were losing their jobs, stock markets crashing, people 24 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 2: can't go to work, like all the writings on the 25 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 2: wall for another two thousand and eight to happen, and 26 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 2: you was like, nah, commercial real estate might be in trouble, 27 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,039 Speaker 2: but residential real estate, I'm like, all right, we'll see. 28 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,279 Speaker 2: And then to this day, it hasn't crashed. It's actually 29 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 2: going up. In most most places in America. The price 30 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 2: the home prices have actually going up. It's a shortage 31 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 2: of our inventory on the marketplace. So where we're at 32 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,839 Speaker 2: right now as far as the state of real estate 33 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 2: in the United States of America. 34 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 3: The market is on fire for residential you know. And 35 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 3: I told you this back in March. I said, nah, bro, 36 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 3: it's not going to happen because with people and everybody 37 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 3: was kind of saying the same thing, like, yo, two 38 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 3: thousand and eight is coming back. Wait, don't buy weight, 39 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 3: And I said two thousand and eight was different. That 40 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 3: was a credit crisis, right, This is a health crisis. 41 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 3: Credit crisis means that banks, Wall streeters, everybody, homeowners, you know, investors, 42 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 3: everybody was greedy, you know, appraisers, everybody, right, So when 43 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 3: the market crashed, the government was reluctant on trying to 44 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 3: save everybody. They didn't want to bail out everybody, but 45 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 3: they had no choice but to bail out the big names. Right. 46 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 3: So with this one, I said, now, this is health 47 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 3: This has nothing to do with nobody. This is nobody's fault. 48 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,360 Speaker 3: And if you think about it, if you look at 49 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,679 Speaker 3: the real estate market going into twenty twenty, it was 50 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,919 Speaker 3: already on fire. It was due for a correction at 51 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 3: some point, because what goes up must come down, right, 52 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 3: But I said, nah, this is not going to crash. 53 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 3: There's no way, because the government is going to have 54 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,959 Speaker 3: to bail out everybody now, right from the big businesses 55 00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 3: to the everyday person. And when you told me that 56 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,399 Speaker 3: it's going to crash, that's what was in my mind 57 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 3: because I knew, especially with the election year, they couldn't 58 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 3: just let all these people die, people lose their homes. 59 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 3: There's no way. And as you see, all these stimulus 60 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 3: packages came out, everybody getting their ppe money and everything. 61 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 4: It was recklessly and hopefully they wasn't reckless. 62 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 3: Hopefully they wasn't reckless, and hopefully they did the right thing. 63 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 3: But you know, you have unemployment benefits, people are getting 64 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,679 Speaker 3: them with ease, with no problem. So you know, you 65 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 3: got to give the administration credit for what they tried 66 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 3: to do to help as many people as possible. And 67 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 3: that's why I just didn't feel like the market was 68 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 3: going to crash. But residential real estate is on fire 69 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 3: right now all over the country. There's thirty forty offers 70 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 3: on one house, you know, So if you're a seller 71 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 3: right now, if you're thinking about selling your home to 72 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 3: upgrade or downsize, this is the time for the sellers 73 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 3: right now, because they're going to get twenty thirty percent 74 00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 3: above asking price in some markets right now because it's 75 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 3: just too hot right now. It's too many buyers out there, 76 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 3: and with these low interest rates, you know, or rates 77 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 3: being in the mid twos to low threes, depending on 78 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 3: your circumstance, Like everybody wants to buy a house because 79 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 3: money is cheap now, right so it's easy to the 80 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 3: person who couldn't afford the half a million dollar house 81 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 3: last year when rates were three and a half four percent, 82 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 3: now it's two and a half. 83 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,039 Speaker 2: Can can you explain like that? Like, because the average 84 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 2: person that maybe never brought a home might not fully 85 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 2: appreciate because they say three and a half, two and 86 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 2: a half, it's only one percent, that's not that big 87 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,039 Speaker 2: of a deal. But because they looking at it like 88 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 2: it's stocks, like it's like if you earn one percent, 89 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, or just regular life, one 90 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 2: percent doesn't move the needle. But in your world of 91 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 2: mortgage is one percent is huge. Right, So if you 92 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 2: kind of put that in perspective out. 93 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,720 Speaker 3: Here, I mean, look, one percent depending on your loan amount, right, 94 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 3: that can be three four five hundred dollars a month. 95 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 3: That could be six thousand, eight thousand, ten thousand a year, 96 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,039 Speaker 3: depending on the size of your loan. Right. So the 97 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 3: big of the loan, the low a rate, the cheap 98 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 3: of the payment. Right. So someone again who couldn't afford 99 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 3: the five hundred thousand dollars home or get pre approved 100 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,600 Speaker 3: for a five hundred thousand dollar home a year ago 101 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 3: because the rate was probably three and a half to 102 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,559 Speaker 3: four percent, now they're able to because now that brings 103 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 3: their payment down and they're able to get approved for 104 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 3: now that higher amount. So one percent is huge in 105 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 3: the real estate in the mortgage world, interest that you're 106 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 3: gonna pay over the life of the loan is also 107 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 3: very important too, because if you're looking at any house 108 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 3: that you buy, let's face it, right, the way the 109 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 3: mortgage in the banking system is set up, it's you know, 110 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 3: you're gonna pay interest three times more than what the 111 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 3: houses actually work. But if you're getting a cheaper interest rate, 112 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,039 Speaker 3: that softens the blow a little bit, and now you 113 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,840 Speaker 3: can focus on your debt strategy, which is repaying back 114 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,479 Speaker 3: your debt and trying to beat that interest trap. You 115 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, and you know little things you 116 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 3: can do to do that. You can make one extra 117 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,040 Speaker 3: payment a year and you can pay off your loan 118 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 3: in twenty two and a half years if you have 119 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 3: a thirty year mortgage. Know what I tell folks all 120 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 3: the time, take your income taxes refunds right and apply 121 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 3: that every single year to your principal balance. That could 122 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 3: bring down your debt. You can do as little as 123 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 3: one hundred dollars a month to your principal balance and 124 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 3: you'll be surprised how much interest you'll save on your mortgage, 125 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 3: especially if you plan on living in the house the 126 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 3: long term, the full term of thirty years you don't 127 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 3: want to just make your regular payment because you're gonna 128 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,119 Speaker 3: pay you know, on a three hundred, four hundred thousand 129 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 3: dollars home, you may pay back eight hundred thousand. 130 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,720 Speaker 2: Now that was a gym, what you just said. And 131 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,599 Speaker 2: I learned that in business. I don't want that to 132 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,159 Speaker 2: go people's head. When I first got into into the 133 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 2: industry working in finance, I learned that like one extra 134 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:46,280 Speaker 2: payment a year on your mortgage cut seven years off 135 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 2: of your mortgage. 136 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 3: Absolutely, or eight seven, eight twenty two and a half years. 137 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's that's huge if you really think about it. 138 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 2: It's like one extra payment a year absolutely can really 139 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,720 Speaker 2: take almost a decade off, like. 140 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 3: Basically, and it has to be towards your principal balance only. 141 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,600 Speaker 3: So if you're making a payment, you can't just give 142 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 3: the bank money because they're automatically going to apply it 143 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 3: to interest, right, because you have to direct them where 144 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 3: you want that money to go. 145 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 5: How does that even look? 146 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 4: So if my mortgage is three thousand, I gotta pay 147 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 4: six thousand if I'm doing it. 148 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, So if your mortgage is three, you can pay 149 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 3: six and you can tell them the difference to go 150 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 3: to principal balance only.

The 168 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 3: lowest I've seen it since we've been in COVID was 169 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 3: around two percent, which is phenomenais, right, that's incredible. But 170 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 3: what I try to tell people is maybe not going 171 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 3: to that fifteen year right now, because life happens, right, 172 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 3: you're committing yourself to a much higher payment, and what if, 173 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,959 Speaker 3: you know, COVID twenty one comes God forbid and it's worse, 174 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 3: worse strained than this. Now you're committing yourself to that 175 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 3: higher payment just to try to pay it all early, 176 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 3: when you could have went to a thirty year, had 177 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 3: a cheaper payment, and just manage your principal balance yourself 178 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 3: that way, you're not committed to that fifteen year term 179 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 3: or that twenty year term. You stay with the cheapest 180 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 3: possible payment, but still you're paying down your debt, you 181 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 3: know so, And I'm not against year mortgages. I think 182 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 3: for the right people it works, right people who have 183 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 3: substantial income and they can really afford the payment. But 184 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 3: most people are trying to pay off their loan fast, 185 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 3: which I get, but they're now cash strap, right, They're 186 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 3: becoming house rich and cash poor because they're making their 187 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 3: payment so much higher because they're just focusing on I 188 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 3: just want to get rid of it, which again I understand, 189 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 3: but you got to be a little bit smarter right now, 190 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 3: because anything could happen. As we've seen, we woke up 191 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 3: in twenty twenty, Kobe dead with God bless you know, 192 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 3: then COVID came. Like this year has been crazy, you 193 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. So like, if this doesn't teach 194 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 3: anybody anything, you got to have cash flow right now. 195 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 3: You got to have liquidity because anything can happen. So 196 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 3: that's why I just try to tell home own future 197 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:50,079 Speaker 3: homeowners and current homeowners who are refinancing, if you don't 198 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,080 Speaker 3: have to go to the fifteen year, just stay with 199 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 3: the twenty or thirty years, so that way you can 200 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 3: have a little bit more cash flow. 201 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 4: Can I go back to something you said, because when 202 00:09:58,240 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 4: you say, I'm like, oh, how does that work? Because 203 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 4: I've heard of corrections obviously in the stock market, and 204 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 4: we know that's maybe eight to ten percent or eighteen percent. 205 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 4: What does that look What does the correction look like 206 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 4: in the real estate world? Is that interest rates go up? Like, 207 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 4: what is the correction in the real estate world? 208 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 3: I mean it could be rates go up, It could 209 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 3: be home prices depreciate, you know, it could be lenders 210 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,200 Speaker 3: tightening up their guidelines. You know, all of these things 211 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 3: could be corrections in the market that can affect the 212 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 3: buying power of Americans. Right, if home prices decline like 213 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 3: you thought it was, I mean, it sucks, but what 214 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 3: goes up must come down at some point. Right. So 215 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 3: that's why over leveraging is not over leveraging is key, 216 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 3: you know. And this is why I talk a lot 217 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,679 Speaker 3: about rehabs, rehab loans, and things of that nature, because 218 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 3: I want first time home buyers to think like investors. 219 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,440 Speaker 3: When you're buying these homes, buy them the same way 220 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 3: that you'll see a Caesar by them, or Envy buy them, 221 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 3: or any investor that you guys are following online by 222 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 3: the same way they're buying. You know, there's nothing special 223 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 3: about anybody who's flipping real estate or doing anything. They 224 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 3: just have more knowledge than you, and they know where 225 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 3: to look and where to find these properties. You can 226 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 3: do the same thing. The information is available, you know, 227 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 3: there's no excuse. It's not like ten fifteen years ago 228 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 3: when I first came into business, there was no social media. Right, 229 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 3: you can hashtag and follow a hashtag and you'll see 230 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 3: hundreds of people flipping houses and they're giving you all 231 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 3: this information. So now you just got to apply it. 232 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 3: And if you're a first time home by it, there's 233 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 3: so many different programs out there for you to get 234 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,559 Speaker 3: the rehab money to be able to now buy a 235 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:34,719 Speaker 3: home that's undervalue. Put that money into it, force the appreciation, 236 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 3: and now you have equity in that home, and God 237 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 3: forbid the house does depreciate. You still good because if 238 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 3: you lose ten percent equity because the market is declining 239 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 3: five percent equity, you're not over leverage. You're not upside down. 240 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 3: So I try to promote don't buy retail if you 241 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 3: don't have to, But I understand you have to in 242 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 3: some cases buy retail because the school districts, family needs, 243 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 3: things of that nature, don't have a choice. But still 244 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,319 Speaker 3: try to buy the ugliest house in the best neighborhood. 245 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 2: So let me ask you this because you know, obviously 246 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 2: you said that it's a seller's market, absolutely what interest 247 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,720 Speaker 2: rates are extremely low right now, so that would say 248 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 2: it would be better. 249 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 5: It's good for the buyer so. 250 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 3: To get along, but it's great for the seller because 251 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 3: they're going to have multiple offers on their home. 252 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 2: Okay, So for people that's looking at maybe purchase a home, 253 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 2: is this a good time to or should it? Because like, 254 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:29,959 Speaker 2: all right, average, like let's say somebody hasn't brought a 255 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 2: home yet, and they looking at it like, all right, 256 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,319 Speaker 2: I got some money saved and low interest rates, it's 257 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,439 Speaker 2: a good time for me to buy a home. But 258 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 2: if it's a seller's market, should they be looking to 259 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,440 Speaker 2: buy a home or should they just be waiting for 260 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 2: it to be a buyer's market? 261 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:41,959 Speaker 5: Again? 262 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 3: Good question, right, So this is what I tell everybody. 263 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 3: If you have financial security, if you have down payment, 264 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 3: closing costs and reserves, and you have the knowledge and 265 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 3: your mindset is right and everything is where it needs 266 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 3: to go, you have your team, and if your goal 267 00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 3: in twenty twenty prior to COVID was to purchase, then 268 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 3: I personally believe you should still purchase, right because the 269 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 3: money is dirt cheap. Now on the flip side, should 270 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 3: you wait till the quote unquote buyers market come and 271 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 3: the homes depreciate? When the hell is that going to be? 272 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 3: No one has a crystal ball that could come five 273 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 3: years from now, and then the race could be seven 274 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 3: percent then, So like, I don't care if the homes 275 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 3: go down ten fifteen percent, but now I'm paying seven 276 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,959 Speaker 3: percent on the money, right, So you got to look 277 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 3: at the whole opportunity costs for yourself of what's going 278 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:31,960 Speaker 3: to be best for you. Everybody's going to have an 279 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 3: opinion on this, right, everybody has. Everybody's an expert, everybody's 280 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 3: an economist, you know what I'm saying. Like everybody knows 281 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 3: when the crash is going to happen. People will say, oh, 282 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 3: the foreclosure craze on waver is going to happen next year. 283 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 3: How do you know that? How do you know that? 284 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 3: No one knows. You know what I'm saying. So for me, 285 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 3: if you're financially secure and you want to buy real 286 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:56,200 Speaker 3: estate and you want to get in the game and 287 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 3: you want to invest, then invest. 288 00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 5: Do it. 289 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,439 Speaker 3: Just be smart about it. Take it to because iteration. 290 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 3: If you're buying rental properties, make sure you're doing your 291 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 3: due diligence. If it has tenants in the property, make 292 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,199 Speaker 3: sure you ask it for proof that they're paying. You 293 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, Because anybody can tell you anything. Yeah, 294 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,679 Speaker 3: I got three tenants in here, they're all good. Okay, 295 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 3: show me the proof, home seller. You know what I'm saying. 296 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 3: Let me see two to three months of your bank 297 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 3: statement showing these deposits going in. Show me the proof, 298 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 3: be smart, and that's what it's all about, doing your 299 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 3: due diligence and applying that information and going out there 300 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 3: and executing at a high level, and being a CEO 301 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 3: of your real estate business. Even if it's your first home, 302 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 3: it doesn't matter. You still got to be a CEO. 303 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 3: You can't be out here emotional. And I think I 304 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 3: said that on the last episode two, and I've been 305 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 3: saying it's pretty much my whole career because at one 306 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 3: point I was emotional when I was buying homes. I 307 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 3: wasn't really looking at numbers. I was just happy to 308 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 3: be able to buy real estate, and I made a 309 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 3: lot of bad decisions, which you know, I share with 310 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 3: you guys that just paid for Like it was bad 311 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 3: decisions and I just had to pay for it, and 312 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 3: it sucks. But these were lessons and this is why 313 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 3: my message my message, and I try to educate everybody 314 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 3: to tell them, like, look, you just got to do 315 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 3: the numbers, and don't be scared. Just be sharp and 316 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 3: understand on what you're doing, but don't worry about what 317 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 3: could have, should have or what can happen, because if 318 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 3: it's going to happen, everything's going to happen in God's 319 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 3: time anyway, it's nothing you can do about it. So 320 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 3: just be smart to have your reserves and be prepared 321 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 3: for the worst. You know what Ian said, you need 322 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,760 Speaker 3: five five years of reserves sixty months. It's like you 323 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. So like many people ain't in 324 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 3: that position to have five years.

So yeah, you're making money, but 381 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 3: it's also a lot of responsibility that comes with it 382 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 3: because you're trying to service so many people. It gets 383 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 3: overwhelmings and that's important. Having that balance. 384 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:29,640 Speaker 4: We talk about that a lot, just having. 385 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 3: Balance in your life. 386 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,160 Speaker 4: And like we've been watching the news and it looks 387 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 4: like the races are going to stay that way for 388 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:34,920 Speaker 4: a while. 389 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 3: So this is going to be business, you know, God willing, 390 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,960 Speaker 3: you know, race will stay low. Me personally, I hope 391 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 3: they do go back up a little bit, slow things down. 392 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,160 Speaker 3: That's just me, you know what I'm saying. I'd rather 393 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 3: go up a little bit, get rid of some of 394 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 3: these people so we can all breathe and get back 395 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 3: to regular life so to speak. In our world. You know, 396 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,399 Speaker 3: the mortgage businesses set the break records this year in 397 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 3: twenty twenty. Trillions of dollars are being went in twenty twenty. Like, 398 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 3: I can't wait till the final number it's talied up 399 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 3: to just see what what the mortgage business did. But 400 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 3: it's it's incredible right now, what we're on pace to 401 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,199 Speaker 3: do right now. It's a couple of trillion dollars. Like 402 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 3: I don't think people understand that it's a lot of 403 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 3: money being lent. And people think COVID and quarantines slowed 404 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 3: things or stopped anything. They didn't stop anything. It may 405 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,159 Speaker 3: have slowed certain components down, like appraisals, getting tied of 406 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 3: reports and things of that nature. But it didn't slow nothing. 407 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 3: Now people are buying homes. And that's why I tell 408 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 3: folks over time, if you're looking to buy, buy, what 409 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 3: are you waiting for? Go ahead?

One of the hardest things for entrepreneurs, 415 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,639 Speaker 2: business people ten ninety nine, contractors, things of that nature 416 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 2: is to buy a home because it's like a lot 417 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 2: of times it's one of the benefits of being business 418 00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:58,120 Speaker 2: owners that you get to write. 419 00:19:57,880 --> 00:19:58,400 Speaker 5: Off a lot. 420 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 2: Absolutely, but the problem with that when it comes to 421 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,360 Speaker 2: getting a mortgage is that you don't show enough income. 422 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:05,920 Speaker 2: So now it's like, you know, you're in a tough 423 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,160 Speaker 2: spot because, yeah, you might have made two hundred thousand dollars, 424 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,720 Speaker 2: but you're only paying taxes on twenty thousand. 425 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 3: No blessed Americans. 426 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 5: Like that, or seven hundred and fifty. 427 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 3: Dollars yea, yeah, yeah one eight beautiful beautiful old living. 428 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 2: So but yeah, it's like it's hard to get a mortgage, 429 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,119 Speaker 2: but you was actually enlightened me, Like there's different programs 430 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 2: for business owners, like especially like bank statement loan things 431 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 2: that you could We haven't really covered that. 432 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:40,360 Speaker 5: Can you talk about that? 433 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, So you have loans out there that fall into 434 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 3: that non QM category, non qualified mortgage. It basically means 435 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 3: Fanny Mae or Freddie Mack who buys conventional loans from banks, right, 436 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 3: they won't purchase this type of loan, but there's private 437 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,919 Speaker 3: lenders out there that will fund bank statement loans whereas 438 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 3: you can put as little as ten percent down. You 439 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 3: can borrow up to four million dollars with this type 440 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 3: of loan, and we're using the deposits as your income 441 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 3: for your business.

And you know, 455 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 3: when you're talking six you're probably going to have to 456 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 3: be more thirty percent thirty five percent down, you know, 457 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,919 Speaker 3: high credit no minimum credit score for this program six sixty. 458 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 3: But you want to get that lower rate, you're going 459 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,399 Speaker 3: to have to probably be in the high sevens with 460 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,359 Speaker 3: a larger down payment. But if you're talking ten percent down, 461 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 3: you know, jumbo bank statement loan, you're probably gonna get 462 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 3: collaborated for like seven and a half percent. 463 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 5: Can you refinance later? 464 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:15,119 Speaker 3: Absolutely?

Freddie Mac has a 470 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 3: program where you can use one year tax returns as 471 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,160 Speaker 3: a business owner. Right. So now this is a conventional loan. 472 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,520 Speaker 3: So you can refinance into the conventional loan. Just file 473 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:46,400 Speaker 3: your taxes the right way, show the income.

We don't 480 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:06,879 Speaker 3: even have to look at it. So you can just 481 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,920 Speaker 3: use the one year and then refinance into a conventional loan. 482 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:11,359 Speaker 3: After you do the bank statement loan. 483 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:12,639 Speaker 4: How long you have to stay in the property. 484 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 3: If you're doing a primary residence, it's one year I 485 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,199 Speaker 3: can perceive.

Yes, 494 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,960 Speaker 3: only in your LLC's name. So these bank statement loans 495 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 3: just to clarify us in your personal name. Still it's 496 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 3: not in your LLC's name. So when you go asset 497 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,120 Speaker 3: based or hard money, that's strictly in your LLC's name. 498 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 3: And that's why the rate is even higher because it's 499 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:52,160 Speaker 3: on LLC based. 500 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 2: But that's the semi valuable and even if it's six 501 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 2: percent or even eight percent, it's still depending on how 502 00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:01,120 Speaker 2: much income you're not showing, because you have realized it's 503 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,159 Speaker 2: like it's a trade off, right, you either show a 504 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 2: bunch of income. By showing a bunch of income, you 505 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 2: have to pay taxes on that money. 506 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:08,479 Speaker 3: Correct. 507 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 2: So like let's say you're making two hundred thousand dollars 508 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 2: and you're showing twenty thousand. In order to qualify, you 509 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,440 Speaker 2: need to show one hundred thousand. So now you got 510 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,439 Speaker 2: to show eighty thousand dollars more correct, So now you 511 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:21,880 Speaker 2: could potentially. 512 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,160 Speaker 4: This episode is brought to you by P and C Bank. 513 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 4: A lot of people think podcasts about work are boring, 514 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:32,399 Speaker 4: and sure they definitely can be, but understanding a professional's 515 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 4: routine shows us how they achieve their success little by little, 516 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 4: day after day.

Okay, because obviously 605 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,360 Speaker 4: I've spoke about this a number of times of how 606 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 4: my family was robbed of thousands of dollars doing during 607 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 4: the appraisal process. And one of the things in speaking 608 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,760 Speaker 4: to you, what I came to find out was something 609 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:42,400 Speaker 4: called the AMC. 610 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:43,719 Speaker 5: Can you explain what that is? 611 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 3: So AMC stands for Appraisal Management company. So when the 612 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 3: market crashed, the government said it was the bank's fault 613 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 3: in the appraises. So they took the control away from 614 00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 3: the banks and the brokers, the mortgage brokers. They took 615 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:04,600 Speaker 3: the appraisal control away from us, that process away from us. Right, 616 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 3: we can't have direct contact with an appraiser, so when 617 00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:11,320 Speaker 3: we do a deal, we go through the appraisal management company. 618 00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 3: The appraisal management company now picks from a round robbin 619 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:18,200 Speaker 3: of appraisers that's approved. But whatever, Linda, they're working with 620 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:22,280 Speaker 3: and then they're the ones who have the communication with 621 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 3: the appraiser. They set up the order with them. You 622 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:27,880 Speaker 3: got to contact this person whatever. 623 00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 4: Right in my mind, I'm thinking the government did this 624 00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:31,760 Speaker 4: because it's like if I was an appraiser, I know 625 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:33,720 Speaker 4: you worked at the bank, You're telling me, like, yo, 626 00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,040 Speaker 4: just give them a good rate so we can make 627 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 4: money on the deals. 628 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:37,440 Speaker 5: Is that why? 629 00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 3: It was kind of like this. 630 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:41,120 Speaker 4: Let me tell you how I. 631 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:42,000 Speaker 5: Went to tell you the story. 632 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 3: Let me tell you how it went. In a wild 633 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:47,280 Speaker 3: cowboy days, it would say, Yo, Giovanni, I need this 634 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 3: deal to go this eight hundred thousand. I know it's 635 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,480 Speaker 3: probably on the worth seven, but what can you do? 636 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,640 Speaker 3: We can make we can pay you extra, and Giovanni 637 00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,680 Speaker 3: will come back with appraiser report of eight hundred thousand dollars. 638 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,440 Speaker 3: And there was no systems in place back then and 639 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:07,520 Speaker 3: no technology like we have now where underwriters were really 640 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,200 Speaker 3: vetting that appraisal. They would just close on it, right, 641 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 3: they would take their words. So the market was being inflated. 642 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 3: And what they're saying is true. You know this call 643 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,200 Speaker 3: was made this bad. We had too much contact. Right, 644 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 3: if you're on a praiser and you know I'm sending 645 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:22,560 Speaker 3: you a lot of business. Look, if I need you 646 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 3: to make this happen, make it happen, and they would 647 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,400 Speaker 3: because there was really no regulation behind it. Now with 648 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,560 Speaker 3: the appraisal management company, that's out of the window. You 649 00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,280 Speaker 3: can't even talk to the appraiser. It's illegal for US 650 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,200 Speaker 3: loan officers to talk to appraisers now, so I don't 651 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 3: know who to hell, the appraiser is going to be 652 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,360 Speaker 3: on a deal until I get the actual report. And 653 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,080 Speaker 3: even when I get the report, I can't make contact 654 00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:46,720 Speaker 3: with them. If I want to dispute something, I have questions, 655 00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 3: I think there's errors. It all has to funnel back 656 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,360 Speaker 3: through the AMC, and then the AMC goes back to 657 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,520 Speaker 3: that appraiser to make whatever corrections. 658 00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 4: And so my thing is like, and I've seen this 659 00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,480 Speaker 4: a lot, is like, I wonder how many people look 660 00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 4: like us in this management company. 661 00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 3: Oh, it's slim to none. Because in most cases, right, 662 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:11,600 Speaker 3: we need black appraisers. We need we need people that 663 00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:15,720 Speaker 3: look like us going into our neighborhoods valuate our property 664 00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:18,480 Speaker 3: because we know the true value of our areas in 665 00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,840 Speaker 3: our neighborhoods. Most most of these folks don't and that's 666 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:25,240 Speaker 3: when you see people getting these homes of praise and 667 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,720 Speaker 3: like your situation, they devalued. 668 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,400 Speaker 4: You came in, spent ten minutes here, I paid them 669 00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:34,840 Speaker 4: seven hundred dollars devalue mee. We lost like one hundred 670 00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:35,479 Speaker 4: thousand on the deal. 671 00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,880 Speaker 3: It's terrible, you know, it's terrible. So if anybody's looking 672 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:42,160 Speaker 3: to get into the real estate industry, looking to becoming 673 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:47,360 Speaker 3: an appraiser, there's a serious need to become an appraiser, 674 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 3: and especially if you're a minority, this could be a 675 00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:52,560 Speaker 3: good way for you to learn the real estate market 676 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:55,760 Speaker 3: because you learn and how to value properties right, and 677 00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 3: if you're going to invest, what better knowledge to have 678 00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:03,080 Speaker 3: than and being an appraiser. It pays well, and it 679 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,880 Speaker 3: pays well ten minutes, ten minutes. But you got to 680 00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:07,920 Speaker 3: think about though, it doesn't pay that well no more 681 00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,800 Speaker 3: for the appraises, right, because now you have that AMC 682 00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,280 Speaker 3: of the company. So now the AMC has to eat 683 00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:16,320 Speaker 3: too off that same fee. So now the appraisers actually 684 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,520 Speaker 3: make less. And that's why you see a lot of 685 00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,800 Speaker 3: sloppy work now, right, because they're not making as much 686 00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,440 Speaker 3: money as they used to. Now, what you see a 687 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,600 Speaker 3: lot of now they'll make the So there's two there's 688 00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:31,320 Speaker 3: two appraisal reports. Right, it's either going to come back 689 00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,480 Speaker 3: as is or subject to repairs. Right, So if it 690 00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:36,600 Speaker 3: comes back as is, I mean the house is fine 691 00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:39,760 Speaker 3: how it is, right, but it comes back subject to repairs, 692 00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:43,000 Speaker 3: then whatever the appraiser list on that report that needs 693 00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:45,600 Speaker 3: to be repaired, it needs to be repaired prior to closing. 694 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:47,640 Speaker 3: And then they have to come back out and do 695 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:51,239 Speaker 3: a reinspection. That's another trip fee that could be an 696 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:54,160 Speaker 3: extra one to fifty to five hundred dollars just depending 697 00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,600 Speaker 3: on the property type and everything like that. So that's 698 00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:58,960 Speaker 3: how they're making more money. You know what I'm saying. 699 00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,280 Speaker 3: They're making up for that loss is because now praisers 700 00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:03,400 Speaker 3: are going in and they're looking for cracks, they're looking 701 00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:07,600 Speaker 3: for mold, they're looking for whatever's out of order, you 702 00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:09,359 Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, So that way they can put that. 703 00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:10,160 Speaker 5: Put back on. 704 00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:14,560 Speaker 4: The appraiser is different from the home inspector. Even though 705 00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:16,480 Speaker 4: they come in they look at the property. They may say, 706 00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:19,640 Speaker 4: hey you need a new furnace, Hey that bathroom needs 707 00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:20,200 Speaker 4: new plumbing. 708 00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,560 Speaker 3: That's different from the home inspection. Absolutely, home inspection. The 709 00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:26,160 Speaker 3: home inspector is coming in to look at the house, 710 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:28,320 Speaker 3: and they're going to see about the mechanics of the 711 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,959 Speaker 3: house to make sure the roof, the baller, the heat, 712 00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,759 Speaker 3: the plumbing, electrical everything is where it used to be 713 00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:36,759 Speaker 3: and what they feel like needs repairs and what's the 714 00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:40,040 Speaker 3: cost to cure those repairs, right, And then they're going 715 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:42,960 Speaker 3: to give you probably a thirty to fifty page report 716 00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:46,120 Speaker 3: with all this information in there right telling you this 717 00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:48,560 Speaker 3: is wrong, this is wrong, it's wrong. So the home 718 00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:52,240 Speaker 3: inspector is going to be thorough right. They're not spending 719 00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:55,640 Speaker 3: ten minutes, they're spending two three hours, you know, depending 720 00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:58,760 Speaker 3: on the size of the home, and they're looking through everything. 721 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,359 Speaker 3: But even with a home inspection, you're really not going 722 00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:03,480 Speaker 3: to know your home until you live in it, you know. 723 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:05,759 Speaker 3: But this would give you a good idea of what 724 00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:09,240 Speaker 3: you're buying, right, So it's very important get a home inspection. 725 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:10,759 Speaker 3: And there's a lot of times that I'm starting to 726 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,120 Speaker 3: see on deals with folks are opting out of home 727 00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:15,440 Speaker 3: inspections because they think it's a good house or it 728 00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:19,879 Speaker 3: was just recently renovated. If it's a flip, definitely get 729 00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:23,759 Speaker 3: a home inspection because these investors are being cheap with 730 00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,400 Speaker 3: their materials and they work. So you need to go 731 00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:29,080 Speaker 3: in there and double check and have somebody with professional 732 00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:30,960 Speaker 3: eyes that you don't have to kind of look at 733 00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,840 Speaker 3: this stuff because a lot of them are putting cheap materials. 734 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:35,840 Speaker 4: I'm thinking like, yeah, they probably going to bring the 735 00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:39,320 Speaker 4: cheapest material to be done the fastest, tells the quickest. 736 00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:41,759 Speaker 3: Absolutely, they trying to turn the burn, you know what 737 00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:47,640 Speaker 3: I'm saying. So don't don't devalue your home and home inspection, 738 00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:50,359 Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. Make sure that you take 739 00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:55,200 Speaker 3: serious notes. You're looking be there, you know, ask questions, 740 00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:58,680 Speaker 3: learn about it because if you're going to invest, that's 741 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:02,440 Speaker 3: also free not free training, right because you're paying for it, 742 00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:05,760 Speaker 3: but it's still training if you if you use that information, 743 00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,120 Speaker 3: that you're learning because now they work for you. Now 744 00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:09,879 Speaker 3: they got to tell you this stuff, right, what's wrong 745 00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:12,960 Speaker 3: with this? Blah blah blahlah blah. Now you're starting to learn, right. 746 00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:16,080 Speaker 3: So that's another hack, so to speak. If you're trying 747 00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:18,000 Speaker 3: to get into real estate and you're buying your first house, 748 00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:23,279 Speaker 3: take the process serious, learn the entire process, everything that 749 00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:24,919 Speaker 3: you need to know. So that way when it's time 750 00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,000 Speaker 3: to do more deals. You already have the knowledge. No 751 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:28,920 Speaker 3: one can take it from you.

So it's called 783 00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:53,840 Speaker 3: the foreign national loan, and depending on the lender, you 784 00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:56,399 Speaker 3: can put down as little as twenty to thirty five 785 00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,400 Speaker 3: percent down payment on these loans. And it's not a 786 00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:03,680 Speaker 3: real difficul cool process to get approved foreign national. Right, 787 00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:06,839 Speaker 3: there's only a handful of lenders that will take these 788 00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:09,640 Speaker 3: type of loans. There's not too many of them. So 789 00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:12,440 Speaker 3: if you are, you know, overseas and you want to 790 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:14,640 Speaker 3: get a foreign national loan, just do a simple Google 791 00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:16,319 Speaker 3: search and you'll see a bunch of lenders that will 792 00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:18,440 Speaker 3: come up. They will tell you there are different requirements, 793 00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:20,960 Speaker 3: but the baseline of it is no credit score requirement 794 00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:27,040 Speaker 3: because obviously you're not US citizen. Some lenders will want 795 00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:30,480 Speaker 3: you to have a US bank account and have the 796 00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,839 Speaker 3: money transferred over to the US. Some lenders don't. They'll 797 00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:37,800 Speaker 3: accept the money coming in from overseas the day of closing, 798 00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:39,160 Speaker 3: but a lot of them want you to have the 799 00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:41,920 Speaker 3: money in the US already, So check with the lender 800 00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:47,000 Speaker 3: for their particular guidelines on what they require. If you're 801 00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,120 Speaker 3: self employed, then you have to get a letter from 802 00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:51,920 Speaker 3: your account or your CPA just verifying where your income 803 00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:54,160 Speaker 3: is and how long you've been in business, if a 804 00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:56,640 Speaker 3: lot of good standing and things of that nature.

Is it not having enough 832 00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:20,960 Speaker 2: for the down payment, because that's something that you know 833 00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:22,839 Speaker 2: a lot of times people. Is it just not having 834 00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:24,880 Speaker 2: a proper education like what it's. 835 00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:28,920 Speaker 3: Above, you know, not having a proper education first and foremost. 836 00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,640 Speaker 3: That's the biggest thing I see. People don't they fear 837 00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:35,600 Speaker 3: what they don't know, right, So most people who don't 838 00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:37,120 Speaker 3: buy a home, and when you speak to them, they 839 00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:39,200 Speaker 3: don't know nothing about the process. They don't know nothing 840 00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:42,719 Speaker 3: about loans, they don't understand interest rates. It's just overwhelming 841 00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:45,600 Speaker 3: for them. Right, So that's first things. First is the knowledge. 842 00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:49,480 Speaker 3: Then credit. Credit is probably the second biggest thing. People 843 00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:51,879 Speaker 3: have bad credit out here, and they need to get 844 00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:55,200 Speaker 3: worry about fixing their credit and stop spending so much. 845 00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:58,799 Speaker 3: Then I will probably say cash the capital, you know. 846 00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:00,920 Speaker 3: I think that's probably the third thing that I see 847 00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:04,600 Speaker 3: that hold people back, especially in cities like New York. 848 00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:08,160 Speaker 3: LA was very expensive to buy real estate. You know, 849 00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:12,040 Speaker 3: a two family here is a million dollars. Right, you've 850 00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:14,439 Speaker 3: got to talk about you need probably three point five 851 00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:17,200 Speaker 3: percent plus closing costs. I mean, before you know, you 852 00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:19,680 Speaker 3: can be close to one hundred k you know that 853 00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:22,799 Speaker 3: you need to buy a house. So it's a lot 854 00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:26,720 Speaker 3: that happens. I mean, it's a lot that stops home buyers. 855 00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:30,080 Speaker 3: But these are the things that I see the top 856 00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:34,600 Speaker 3: three that stop the lack of education, credit and capital. 857 00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:36,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, I like what you said, we don't know what 858 00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:39,520 Speaker 4: we don't know, right, And part of that is the question. 859 00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:41,759 Speaker 4: And so like, when we're getting into this process, what 860 00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:44,719 Speaker 4: are some things when we're trying to find the right 861 00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:47,960 Speaker 4: loan office or the right commercial bank or investment bank. 862 00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:50,320 Speaker 4: What are the questions that we should be asking before 863 00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:51,680 Speaker 4: we take that step. 864 00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:53,240 Speaker 3: When you interview on your loan offices? 865 00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:53,560 Speaker 5: Right? 866 00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:55,600 Speaker 3: Oh man, there's tons of questions that you need to 867 00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:57,840 Speaker 3: ask them. First of all, do they own any property themselves? 868 00:41:57,880 --> 00:41:58,040 Speaker 5: Right? 869 00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:01,280 Speaker 3: Are they investing their homeowners themselves? 870 00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:01,560 Speaker 4: Right? 871 00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:03,800 Speaker 3: How long have they been in the business? Very important 872 00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:06,160 Speaker 3: question to me because look, there's nothing wrong with rookie 873 00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:09,200 Speaker 3: loan officers, right, but they don't have the experience. They 874 00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:11,839 Speaker 3: don't have the product knowledge yet, they don't know how 875 00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:12,520 Speaker 3: to maneuver. 876 00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:13,200 Speaker 5: Right. 877 00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:16,279 Speaker 3: They're going to be more reactive than proactive because they're 878 00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:19,920 Speaker 3: learning on the job. So I experience. You know, how 879 00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:22,120 Speaker 3: many deals are you really closing? How many did you 880 00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:22,919 Speaker 3: close last month? 881 00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:23,200 Speaker 5: Right? 882 00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:26,239 Speaker 3: Just to get an idea of what that person is 883 00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:29,160 Speaker 3: closing people, are they really truly honestly helping? 884 00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:32,439 Speaker 4: How much is a season person? How many how many 885 00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:35,360 Speaker 4: closings that they haven't a season loanovers. 886 00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:37,480 Speaker 3: I mean, you could be seasoned, it's still you know, 887 00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:41,960 Speaker 3: not right. So, I mean, if you're a top producer, 888 00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:45,000 Speaker 3: in my opinion, you closing well over one hundred plus 889 00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:47,440 Speaker 3: deals a year. You know, if you're a top producing 890 00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:50,480 Speaker 3: loan officer. But the mega producers are closing a couple 891 00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:53,920 Speaker 3: hundred loans a year, you know they're they're out here 892 00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:57,319 Speaker 3: really killing it. So but you know, the average loan 893 00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:01,799 Speaker 3: officer is probably closing four deals a month somewhere an there, 894 00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:05,399 Speaker 3: which is not bad. You know, depending on your compensation level, 895 00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:08,120 Speaker 3: you can still make great a great living closing four 896 00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:10,680 Speaker 3: or five deals a month. But you know, you want 897 00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:13,279 Speaker 3: to ask these people these questions. Do they have a team, 898 00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:16,480 Speaker 3: very important, especially in times right now where everybody's overwhelmed 899 00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:18,640 Speaker 3: and busy. Are you the only person that they're going 900 00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:22,080 Speaker 3: to speak to, right? So team is very important. They 901 00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:24,560 Speaker 3: are they underwriting their loans in house? 902 00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:25,040 Speaker 5: Right? 903 00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:28,719 Speaker 3: Is their underwright and being sourced to somewhere else? Or 904 00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:31,399 Speaker 3: what kind of control do they have? You know, these 905 00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:33,440 Speaker 3: are all the things that are very important because you 906 00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:34,960 Speaker 3: want to know that your deal is going to be 907 00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:37,160 Speaker 3: able to go through the system with no issues. 908 00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:40,080 Speaker 2: So, speaking of the mortgage industry and working with a 909 00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:43,800 Speaker 2: mortgage professional. You're a mortgage you're a loan officer, correct, 910 00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:46,439 Speaker 2: So we haven't had this conversation either. We talk about 911 00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:49,160 Speaker 2: like investing in real estate, but there's always two sides 912 00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:52,400 Speaker 2: of the coring, so you can make money actually working 913 00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:54,440 Speaker 2: in real estate as well. Like you know, we've interviewed 914 00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:57,399 Speaker 2: Kata Keanu wats we talked about like being a real 915 00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:02,120 Speaker 2: estate agent or realter. So like how what are the 916 00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:04,239 Speaker 2: opportunities for people if they want to become like where 917 00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:06,440 Speaker 2: you are as far as a loan officer? How do 918 00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:07,880 Speaker 2: you do that? Like you have to go to school 919 00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:09,560 Speaker 2: for that? Is it like a test that you take? 920 00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:11,480 Speaker 2: Like do you how do you get hired? Like what's 921 00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:11,640 Speaker 2: to do? 922 00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:12,319 Speaker 5: Well? 923 00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:14,600 Speaker 3: So first and first you have to get license, right, 924 00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:17,319 Speaker 3: So you have to get licensed. You have to take 925 00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:21,160 Speaker 3: the safe test and that's I think twenty five hours, 926 00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:24,239 Speaker 3: which is not a long period of time. It's not 927 00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:26,040 Speaker 3: a lot of hours, right, you can do that in 928 00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:28,400 Speaker 3: a week. You can do it online with no problem. 929 00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:31,080 Speaker 3: Of course you're a couple hundred bucks. Once you pass 930 00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:33,800 Speaker 3: the class, then you have to take the federal exam. 931 00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:36,560 Speaker 3: And when you pass the federal exam. Then you have 932 00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:41,080 Speaker 3: to submit your information to NMLST, you know, National Mortgage 933 00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:45,080 Speaker 3: Licenses System, that's the acronym. You keep saying. Yeah, actually, 934 00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:48,160 Speaker 3: and I'm saying that because I'm official telling you I'm 935 00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:50,719 Speaker 3: a licensed loan officer, like I'm not an Internet guy. 936 00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:52,920 Speaker 3: I always say this, right, and that's why I started 937 00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:55,319 Speaker 3: saying my license number one to be compliant. At one 938 00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:58,760 Speaker 3: point I knew about her. Yeah, I heard on every video, 939 00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:02,840 Speaker 3: every video. It's like NMLS number five as I almost 940 00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:03,239 Speaker 3: forgot that. 941 00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:05,959 Speaker 5: Right. 942 00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:10,920 Speaker 3: But it's important that once you once you pass, then 943 00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:15,319 Speaker 3: you submit all your documentation got to get fingerprinted. I mean, 944 00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:18,080 Speaker 3: we're getting your credit gets looked at. So you can't 945 00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:20,480 Speaker 3: really have bad credit. If you have any issues on 946 00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:22,960 Speaker 3: your credit, you have the right explanations of why, if 947 00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:26,080 Speaker 3: you have outstanding child support and things like that. This 948 00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:28,319 Speaker 3: is serious. This is not like you. Just when I 949 00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:30,640 Speaker 3: came into business, there was no licensing. They literally gave 950 00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:32,759 Speaker 3: me a phone book and said call people. Right, I 951 00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:36,480 Speaker 3: didn't know a damn thing. But now after the crash, 952 00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:39,680 Speaker 3: they make people get licensed now, So if you're a 953 00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:41,960 Speaker 3: licensed loan offic shout out to all the licensed loan offices, 954 00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:46,400 Speaker 3: by the way, that's how you start to get licensed. 955 00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:48,239 Speaker 3: But that doesn't mean you're going to get a job, 956 00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:53,080 Speaker 3: right because most banks right now don't have time to 957 00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:57,319 Speaker 3: hire and train new loan officers. It's too busy, right, 958 00:45:57,360 --> 00:46:01,720 Speaker 3: So you have to find either more company, a mortgage broker, 959 00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:04,680 Speaker 3: or even a big bank right that's willing to take 960 00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:08,040 Speaker 3: the chance with you and hire you. Or I would 961 00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:10,000 Speaker 3: recommend anybody looking to get in the business try to 962 00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:12,719 Speaker 3: join a team, right because if you join the team, 963 00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:15,120 Speaker 3: like I run a team right around my own division. 964 00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:19,120 Speaker 3: But I won't hire anybody. No, sorry, not right now, 965 00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:21,880 Speaker 3: not even not right now. Please don't hit me up 966 00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:25,600 Speaker 3: on that. You need to hear experience minimum, right, But 967 00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:28,839 Speaker 3: there are there are people in my position that will 968 00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:32,040 Speaker 3: hire new people because they may have the capacity to train. 969 00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:34,400 Speaker 3: I don't have that capacity right now. Unfortunately, at some 970 00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:38,600 Speaker 3: point I will, but not not today, right. But get 971 00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:40,680 Speaker 3: on the team so that way you can get that experience, 972 00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:42,480 Speaker 3: you can get that train and you can mess up 973 00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:45,319 Speaker 3: and have somebody to guide you and hold your hand. 974 00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:49,120 Speaker 3: Because there's a lot that goes into originating loan people think, 975 00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:51,400 Speaker 3: you know, especially with the digital stuff that we have 976 00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:54,399 Speaker 3: and the information and technology era that we're in. It's 977 00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:57,200 Speaker 3: so easy to go on these websites and people get 978 00:46:57,200 --> 00:46:59,879 Speaker 3: a pre qualification letter and they think it's so easy. Right, 979 00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:03,200 Speaker 3: It's not that easy. It's something these guidelines. If you 980 00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:06,600 Speaker 3: look at the underwriting guidelines, even from like an FAHA loan, right, 981 00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:10,000 Speaker 3: the underwriting guidelines is over a thousand pages. There's a 982 00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:12,680 Speaker 3: lot of information. You know what I'm saying, And we 983 00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:15,799 Speaker 3: have to be Godeline ghats like, you know what I'm saying, Like, 984 00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:18,240 Speaker 3: we have to know our guidelines. This is our bible, 985 00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:20,960 Speaker 3: this is this is how guidelines, this is how we 986 00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:24,480 Speaker 3: make our living right. So for me, I study these guidelines. 987 00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:27,120 Speaker 3: I live in these guidelines. They tell you everything you 988 00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:30,680 Speaker 3: need to do to execute right and and then you 989 00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:33,120 Speaker 3: have to now be able to articulate that to someone 990 00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:36,560 Speaker 3: who has no clue. Right.

Right, things are changing rapidly. It seems 994 00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:52,160 Speaker 3: like almost every other week there's something coming out from 995 00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:55,719 Speaker 3: the government saying this or that right, especially with self 996 00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:59,920 Speaker 3: employee borrowers making sure that their businesses operate and they're running. 997 00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:03,319 Speaker 3: If if you're buying investment properties, they want to make 998 00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:06,279 Speaker 3: sure now that rent is being collected, especially if you're 999 00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:09,680 Speaker 3: refinancing and you're using an income to qualify. Right, we 1000 00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:12,839 Speaker 3: got a document, you're receiving rent. Now. There's a lot 1001 00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:15,000 Speaker 3: that's happening, and all that I discussed in the blueprint, 1002 00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:17,839 Speaker 3: by the way, but there's a lot happening in the 1003 00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:20,719 Speaker 3: market right now, and it happens at a rapid pace. 1004 00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:23,160 Speaker 3: We wake up and the guidelines are changed, and then 1005 00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:25,080 Speaker 3: we have to just learn them and adapt, and it 1006 00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:28,000 Speaker 3: affects every loan that's in the pipeline. Sometimes they'll give 1007 00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:30,759 Speaker 3: you like, oh, it's going to be December first or 1008 00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:33,840 Speaker 3: January first, twenty twenty, but sometimes they say effective immediately. 1009 00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:36,799 Speaker 4: I remember we had a conversation. I was reading an 1010 00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:39,719 Speaker 4: article and I think they gave you like a week. 1011 00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:41,760 Speaker 3: I think it was September. It was for the refinance 1012 00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:45,160 Speaker 3: feed that they added the refinance fee, and the whole 1013 00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:48,719 Speaker 3: industry got pissed off, Like the entire mortgage industry was 1014 00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:53,280 Speaker 3: pissed right, And then they they delayed it to December first. 1015 00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:54,000 Speaker 5: What did that? 1016 00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:57,239 Speaker 3: So they added so Fannie Mae and Freddie Matt came 1017 00:48:57,280 --> 00:49:01,439 Speaker 3: out I think this was August, that they're taxing lenders now, 1018 00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:04,120 Speaker 3: basically saying, hey, y'all doing a lot of refinances. Rate 1019 00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:06,480 Speaker 3: is low. We need to make some of my stimulus 1020 00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:09,759 Speaker 3: to basically, and we're going to tax y'all a half 1021 00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:12,120 Speaker 3: a point for every refud that you're going to sell 1022 00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:15,080 Speaker 3: to Fandy made and Freddie Mack effective immediately. So that 1023 00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:17,799 Speaker 3: means that you're going to sell to them, right, So 1024 00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:21,680 Speaker 3: they basically said, we want our money, and you have. 1025 00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:24,480 Speaker 3: You could have a pipeline of a thousand loans, two 1026 00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:27,360 Speaker 3: thousand loans in your pipeline right now. You got to 1027 00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:29,719 Speaker 3: pay a half a point per loan. That could be 1028 00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:33,920 Speaker 3: twenty thirty forty fifty million dollars worth of loans one 1029 00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:36,200 Speaker 3: hundred million dollars a long times a half a point 1030 00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:40,000 Speaker 3: that you didn't expect. They're taking your revenue, right, but 1031 00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:42,520 Speaker 3: they're not going to take the lenders revenue. 1032 00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:42,759 Speaker 1: I know. 1033 00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:46,399 Speaker 3: Is it's gonna take your revenue. They're gonna get charged 1034 00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:48,759 Speaker 3: charge you more. We're gonna we're gonna charge you more 1035 00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:51,520 Speaker 3: because we're not gonna pay for that, right And and 1036 00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:53,960 Speaker 3: anytime things like this happened, it gets passed on to 1037 00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:56,680 Speaker 3: the consumer, like the lenders are not going to pay 1038 00:49:56,719 --> 00:49:59,799 Speaker 3: for it, you know. So the industry went crazy and 1039 00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:04,160 Speaker 3: they decided to delay it to December first. So people 1040 00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:07,839 Speaker 3: who are originating refinances right now, that half a point 1041 00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:10,239 Speaker 3: is already built into your rate sheets already, you know 1042 00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:12,759 Speaker 3: what I'm saying. Which in town made interest rates for 1043 00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:17,080 Speaker 3: refinances depending on which Linda, go up by eight to 1044 00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:21,160 Speaker 3: three eighths of a point over the past week. Because 1045 00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:24,680 Speaker 3: now it's loans that's sold by a certain period of time, 1046 00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:27,799 Speaker 3: so we have to cut. Once loans are closed, it 1047 00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:30,319 Speaker 3: takes a while for it to get sold to the agencies, 1048 00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:32,040 Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. So you got to price 1049 00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:33,720 Speaker 3: that in now because you don't know when they're gonna 1050 00:50:33,719 --> 00:50:34,799 Speaker 3: buy it from you. 1051 00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:37,839 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Coach, The energy out there 1052 00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:39,960 Speaker 1: felt different.
