RVA has some of THE best restaurants around! A couple of weeks ago we joined several other couples from our church for dinner at as our marriage small group came to an end, and OMG... the food 🤤 So we went back, just the two of us for our next date night. From the service, to the appetizers and main entree, to the atmosphere and live jazz, everything was amazing! ✨️🎷

If you're in the Richmond area and haven't yet been to Southern Kitchen, I just have one question: WHY NOT?!

Yes, flipping homes can be a great value-add, but it's not the only way to build equity! 💸

Purchasing a home that you plan to make your primary residence is the most common way to build equity. You can make small improvements over time, or don't-just maintain it well and watch it appreciate as you pay down the mortgage 🏘

Want to buy a house and have someone else pay the mortgage for you?! BRRRR: Buy, Renovate, Rent, Refinance, Repeat. This is a great way to earn! 🧰

House hack! Buy a home and utilize one bedroom as your own. Rent out the other bedrooms to help pay down the mortgage 🗝

Another option is to purchase a home in a destination area and utilize it as either a short-term or mid-term rental. Think traveling professionals (NURSES!), nearby colleges, vacation destinations 🌊 🎡

There are more strategies than a lot of people realize to building equity in real estate. I'm here to answer all of your questions and help you get started! DM me with the method you'd like to learn more about 📝

Are you interested in building equity through real estate?!
This is my latest investment property. It was purchased in October, took 3mos for a quality renovation and to get it on the market. In exactly two weeks we were under contract and closed in just over 30days!
🗝I have first-hand experience and can guide you through the process of obtaining your own investment properties 🏘

Wednesday I turned another year older, and my body made sure I knew it! My shoulder and neck have been hurting bad ever since, BUT I'm still so blessed. I was able to attend chapel tied in with grandparents day at my daughter's school. Had a delicious lunch with my mama, a spa day at the greatest little place in Ashland, and dinner with my family, who ALWAYS spoils me, not just on my birthday, but all year ❤️🎁

Thank you everyone for the calls, texts, and messages 🫶🏽
