Are you really ready to be a homeowner? Are you overwhelmed with details and information? Whew, I feel you.  Today’s episode features Real Estate extraordinaire Keith James who answers every question you have had if you’re interested in investing in Real Estate as a first time homebuyer. Keith is a Real Estate agent and managing partner of the Coalition Properties Group in Washington, DC.  Keith divides his expertise into three sections: getting started as an investor, getting started as a first time homebuyer, and how today’s current events (i.e. the current pandemic and the outpour of protests regarding the murder of George Floyd) affect the state of the market.  Many thanks to Keith for his insight and assistance!

 

Three Key Takeaways From Each Section of the Conversation:

Buying a Home as an Investor:

• You don’t necessarily need to a perfect credit score to purchase your first property
• Get a mentor! They are extremely important when getting the support and resources needed for reaching your goal

 

Buying a Home as a First-Time Homeowner:

• Take advantage of first-time homeowner programs.  You don’t need to put all your money down for a property!
• Know what to ask when looking for a real estate agent

 

Current Situation:

• Do everything you can to build wealth for your community
• Investing in DC if you can; however, there are many areas outside of DC that are worth investing in as well!

Many many thanks to Keith for your AMAZING insight! As always, let me know what you think and I look forward to seeing more keys in hands in 2020! Stay amazing!
