Sydney’s new book arrived and I love it! I cannot wait to she gets home so I can show her! Her big brother was a WSSU Ram and his pic taken the day he became a member of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity resembles the pic in the book. How cute is that!?

Building wealth and community at the same time! I Love it here and would be honored to help you on your real estate investment journey!

I hear a lot of people saying they are going to wait to purchase a home because they think the prices are going to go down. If you are on the fence about buying a home, consider the fact that interest rates are rising. As the rates rise your purchase power decreases. Take a look at the different purchase prices shown below along with the payment. IF (emphasis on IF) the price decreases in the future, the higher interest rate would result in a higher monthly payment. Even if the prices level out and the interest rates have still increased, you can see a more significant increase in monthly payment. Full disclosure: I am not a lender, but this isn’t rocket science. These are approximations of payments of principal and interest only; does not include property taxes, insurance, and PMI if applicable. I have a team of lenders I can refer you to who can go over your specific situation. Let’s strategize and create a plan for you.

$400,000 at 3.5% = $1796
$375,000 at 4.25% = $1845
$350,000 at 4.75% = $1826

What if the price stays the same? Which is more likely than a price decrease.

$400,000 at 4.25% = $1968

A little nightcap. Just what I needed after a long day of house hunting.

Being that I have a strong background in financial services and investing; it’s no surprise that I have a number of investment vehicles. A 401k, Traditional and Roth IRA’s, even a brokerage account to name a few. Can you guess which investment had the biggest increase in value?

Spoiler alert: None of the above! See comments for the real winner!
