I was a horrible buyer when I first bought at 23. I did not ask any questions and signed anything, as long as I can get this American Dream. Big mistake. Be smarter than me and let me tell you what I wish I knew before buying your first investment.
Know Your Buying Power
You are putting down a lot of money and do you even know what you’re paying for? You HAVE to know your buying power. It gives you leverage in knowing how much you can spend and know whether you should walk away or stand your ground. Once you know your buying power, you can strategically manage your negotiation and use my skills to get you what you want. Not all agents can get you to the closing table. Ask me how I can help.
Build Your Team
You have to do some homework and it is imperative that you interview at least 2-3 agents and lenders who will represent you. Size them up against each other, PLEASE size me up. Yes, I am telling you to talk to other agents. There is a lot of information on the Internet and I know you’re looking. You need someone who will look after your best interest and know your communication style. Know that you are the call the shots at the end of the day and build a strong team for yourself.
Call the shots
I can do is provide you with all the information, give you pointers, and ask you as well as answer as many questions to your heart’s content but at the end of the day. You are the end decision maker and you will be the one putting down the money. So know I am here to empower you and you’re the boss and will always get final say.
