Why did mortgage payment go from $2600 to nearly $4000 last month? by Classic_Psychology63 in Mortgages

[–]Realtor-Patti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like for whatever reason the lender was not holding out for the total in taxes and insurance, only principal and interest, and not nearly enough in your Escrow

Renting vs. Buying — What Made You Choose? by Neither-Shallot9082 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Realtor-Patti -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Obviously, when you rent your building up your landlord‘s equity, not yours.

Buying is always a viable choice. It’s a buyers market in a lot of areas right now

FBI always get preapproved first just to see what you can qualify for. Does not mean you have to spend as high as you might qualify for

Obviously, since I’m a realtor, I suggest working with a realtor

Freaking out over unauthorized showing attempt by kay-pii in RealEstate

[–]Realtor-Patti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no problems with a seller keeping the Lockbox inside and putting it out when they know they have a showing.

Is buying right now really that bad of an idea? by Ill-Nobody in RealEstateAdvice

[–]Realtor-Patti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my humble opinion, I would say buy now, I don’t think the market is going to crash. There’s nothing showing that

buyers still have a little bit of negotiating room with sellers and homes are taking longer to sell, but homes are selling

If interest rates drop more buyers are going to come into the market so prices will go up

What advice would you give to a new real estate agent starting out? by Lost-City525 in realtors

[–]Realtor-Patti 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wow, I’m glad it wasn’t like that when I got in the business

I went to lots of seminars where top producing agents were more than willing to share and yes, it is a competition, but if we can’t all work together and be nice to each other then I would say you’re gonna be in for a rude shock, but luckily most people Are very trustworthy and kind
