Which fall movie house would you move into? 🎃🏡

🍬 A) Max and Dani's house from Hocus Pocus
👻 B) Whipstaff Manor from Casper
🕸️ C) The Addams Family mansion
🪲 D) The Maitland house from Beetlejuice

I want to know why you chose your particular house! 👇 I'm going with the Whipstaff Manor from Casper because I have never forgotten that swirly floor since I was a kid.

And if you're dreaming of a fall move into a home of your own (no ghosts included 😉), I'd love to help!

Here are a few key differences:

🔹 𝗗𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗽𝗮𝘆𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: FHA can be as low as 3.5% | Conventional can be as low as 3%

🔹 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲: FHA mortgage insurance works differently and can last for the life of the loan | Conventional PMI can typically be removed once you reach 20% equity

🔹𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲: FHA loans have certain property requirements that need to be met

There’s no “one-size-fits-all” answer! The right loan depends on your individual situation. 😊

🏡 Just sold this home today!

When we first talked, my seller was honestly considering going the investor/flipper route. It felt easier and faster and she wasn't sure listing it would be worth the extra steps and fee's.

Before moving forward, we talked through what both options would actually look like.

We ended up listing - and I am really glad we did!

She just closed today for about $𝟰𝟬,𝟬𝟬𝟬 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 than what the investor offer would have been!

Not every situation plays out like this, but it's a good reminder that it's worth understanding your options before making a quick decision.

Congrats to my seller on her next chapter!💛
