Hey Javier this is JC from San Antonio Tx, I bought your ebook. I like the video and I compared your searches to mine in San Antonio area. We are more in the AZ price range we are looking for a First Time HB home between 200-250K. Following Lizzy and Kevin channels we are preparing for buying next year. Thanks for the video’s content and congratulations on >50k subscribers.
How someone can come to your level of education and understand real estate as good as you understand it ?, what is the way you went to come to where you are now with knowledge about real estate?
I’m debt free and I have no bills. I live in Semi Truck year round delivering to all 48 states. I like my cheap living. There is NO WAY I’ll pay 2K a month NOT including water/sewer, and basic expenses. The house will own you. I need a nice well built two car garage with a loft up top and I’m good. Anyone? I can also move anywhere. It would be nice to relax once in a awhile.
It’s important to remember that salaries are different around the country too. The homes in AL can be nice and you could get half a mil home for $2k/mo. But it’s not guaranteed that you’ll earn a salary of $52k/year either in that region.
Even though salaries can be different, it still pays off to live in a cheaper area. If I make $50k here in South Carolina, I’m still gonna be able to do more than someone who makes $55k in California.
Living in a cheap place myself, I can say with confidence that there are plenty of jobs that pay that much. And our average salaries by job are pretty close to everywhere else.
whereas in FL, houses are expensive as hell, and in many fields, you’re dredging the bottom of the barrel of income rates 😭 (In mental health and we’re 49th out of 50th. Many, many jobs in hospitality as well which famously pays poorly)
Very good point. A lot of jobs in Louisiana don’t pay enough or are unstable in some form. Meaning they’re short term jobs that will fire you at a moment’s notice or for holidays to avoid holiday pay.
My wife and I are both young (22 and 23 respectively) and I have to say the videos I've seen have been a huge help as far as helping us plan for the future when we want to buy a house. You've earned yourself a sub!
My dad back in 2007/2008 era had a wfh job and kept showing us homes between LA through NC telling my mom that we could live in a mansion on his salary alone if we agreed to pack up and move. As a high schooler I was so against leaving California but it really drove home that in order to stay in my home state I needed to really get it together fast and start saving for a house ASAP. Thanks for your videos Javier, my husband and I watched them all and closed on a home (in California!) on Christmas Eve, 2020!
Live and been in Baton Rouge my whole life, please don’t move here lol. Also take into account flood insurance which is super high in certain areas. We had the great flood of 2016 so many houses flooded and may now be in a flood zone. Some areas can be up to $2k or more in flood insurance yearly. Try surrounding areas like central and Gonzales.
@@OneBrightLightTN less than 5% of home owners are under water. With the mortgage forbearance they have enough money to sit for awhile or sell. Not many foreclosure you would expect in 2021
You can't afford a house after the market crash either. Because if you can't afford it now, this means your job is expendable. If there is market crash you might lose your job. Wish you the best though.
This is what I’m thinking as well. The amount of equity people have makes a crash less likely. People don’t have adjustable rates like they had in 09’. HELOCs are more conservative. I also think we’ve opened Pandora’s box with government stopping evictions. People will pressure government to stop any crash. I think the bigger risk is bailouts causing inflation but I’m just a guy with an opinion.
Love the channel, I used a lot of yours and Kyles videos at the beginning of the year to get a lot of home buying info before my fiance and I bought our house earlier this year!
I am also an AZ native and prospective first-time home buyer but I am finding it almost impossible with an above average salary. That Laveen house has a "zestimate" of $351,200 now and the Goodyear house is at $479,500. Crazy how a year can make such a difference and literally price thousands of people out of their own city.
Yeah I worked in AZ for three years and commuted every week between my home in Texas. 110° heat at 10pm in the summers. I'm happy to report i am back in Texas That dry heat line and humidity is BS. Your comment is ACCURATE. You are basically on the surface of Satans ASS in Arizona almost year round You will be in Phoenix as was I , because that's where the bulk of any jobs are and where most people are.
I listened to your vids about the market getting out of reach for some people ready to buy and that’s exactly what happened to us in Arizona. We got outbid by 50-70k over asking and all cash offers Ls we couldn’t compete. Sucks for some buyers who are now ready but weren’t expecting the increase so quickly so fast. Now we are moving to Texas where we are getting a lot more house for the money. Anyways just thought I’d share. Great videos keep it up.
@D Conservative Zoning is already garbage nation wide but Dallas went the worst route. Zero zoning. Schools next to strip clubs. Mansions next to skyscrapers. Bad water quality.
@D Conservative State Legislation isn’t something so easily changed and Texas is the 2nd biggest state some movers from the west won’t change the state powers so easily.
@@9manny99 Dallas has zoning, Houston does the no zoning thing. Also "Dallas" is where no one is moving it's Dfw as a whole and it's more shit because people are moving here.. A high end good paying job gets you 60 70k unless your medical or a lawer, average for accualy people? 40k if your one of the lucky ones, or you just wanna work 60 80 hours a week. So unless your married and both working and some how aren't going to get a devorce your fucked and then also you'll be paying off a house for 30 years wince if you get a 15 year you can afford even less. People from CA might be able to afford the house with CA money they already had but good luck finding a job here that pays as much as the ones there! Not to mention quality of life is going to shit because of it, guns, sirens, homelessness on the rise, even worse traffic and drivers, it's shittyer here then it's ever been and will only get worse with more people.
Thanks Javier, this was a great video. Would love to see something on the bay area and may be a comparison with Washington state and Oregon. Also Austin seems pretty cool with all the tech giants moving there, however the real estate taxes in Austin seem to be much hire than the bay area.
I live in NJ near the shore and what you saw in Boston, or tried to see, is exactly what I've been experiencing. I have a median income and the more I look for a home the more I want to move out of state to get more house for my money.
Great info! I was researching Ft. Worth Texas and determined that the average home price is about 250k. But then I realized that the states minimum wage is $7/hour! I determined the same thing for Cleveland Ohio. You can find a home for 50k but apparently there is a lack of jobs and high crime! Seems like home prices are adjusted proportional to income.
He gave examples for that reason, follow what he did for the areas you want and you’ll have a better idea. After that it’ll boil down to income and credit.
Don't move! Los Angeles is the best! TN and GA are horrible with a bunch of scary backwoods people. We don't need more....ahem please, don't move out of your liberal promise lands. They are great places to live!
Thanks for considering, Javier. I’m sure you know these are 2 cities people from major metropolitan areas (not just California) are moving to for job opportunities and cultural happenings. I personally don’t think I’d enjoy just moving to a random small city being from a large city but that’s just me.
I think you should also include the states average household income for that state. Because if you leave California and move to Louisiana you are going to make less income.
Alot of work in the oil field here in louisiana. If you're capable of showing up on time and putting in a day's work you can make ALOT of money. My boss makes $300k a year and hasn't worked more than 50 hours a week since I've known him.

@@ww21943 that’s what my grandparents did they immigrated to America in nyc with my father from Antigua and they had a apartment their entire life in the US before they moved to Orlando and bought a house really nice house for cheap for retirement
Yo Javie !! Love the channel. Can you do a video on first time home buyer for the Roseville / Sacramento CA. area. Ppl always do vids for southern cali.
🤣🤣🤣 Javier, I live in Baton Rouge and I am sooo ready to go! There really isn’t much here as everything keeps being moved out of the city/ closer to the country areas. Plus traffic is horrible and our drivers are terrible.
I'm 26 and I live in San Diego. I'm debt free and an emergency fund saved. Now I'm looking at home buying. However, even with me banking 2k a month, its going to take years before I put a down payment on something that doesn't even exist here in San Diego. After some research, the only places with slashed home prices include Fresno / Central Valley CA. As a San Diegan, that location feels like another state... lol 😆
Yup sounds about right... I live in CT and the East Coast is so expensive. Trying to buy a decent house in a good area on a $50,000 salary is like trying to find a needle in a haystack.
for 390k in Buffalo Ny where i live, you can live like a king and send your kids to the best school district in the area. That first house was terrible.
You are absolutely correct with your assessment! I live in the Buffalo area as well (Amherst). 390k would've gotten me my dream house!😔😔😔 I had to settle for the $250k range.
@@andrewberg6278 yes it is! We moved from Cheektowaga to Amherst recently and I'm confident we made a great decision. We have a 4 year old who will be school age soon so we made the move now. The market is so crazy right now so our 250k could only get us so far but we found a 5 bedroom 2 bath home that will be great for us for years to come.
Your income might be lower but your buying power is much higher. In WI its not uncommon for unskilled labor like factory workers to own 2 homes, multiple vehicles, and retire at 65 but make no where near the same income has other states need as a minimum to survive.
Having Californians move here is not exactly making AZ more attractive. Did they bring their beautiful beaches or higher salaries with them for us to enjoy?
Higher salaries aren't given, they are earned. Right now it's supply and demand and people are moving here from all over, not just California. New York, Boston, Chicago, and several other states. That's fine if you think it's over priced but 1000s of people a week that buy a home here disagree with you.
Javier I been watching a lot of your videos recently since I’m just about ready to buy my own home I gotta tell you They are very helpful I thank you sir
I love how you list realtors in different States such as yourself who are on TH-cam. I live in MN and I love watching your channel and WTHYL. Do you know if there are others like your channel on TH-cam here in MN? Or just judge my State. Thanks for reading and answering my question. ✌🏾
A 4 br 2-1/2 bath 2700 sq ft house on 1/3 acre down the street from me just sold for $1.76 million. That's San Francisco East Bay prices for you. $1770 per month Contra Costa County property tax alone, damn...$21,250 per year prop tax. Insane! Probably some techie bought it. I paid mine off years ago, very lucky to be here. Dumb ass next door pays $4600 a month to RENT the place.
Thank you for the video! I actually live in Massachusetts, an hour north of Boston, so I was hysterically laughing when you couldn't find affordable nice houses in Boston. Middle class has shrunk so much, it's either extremely low income people or those from old money. I make a decent $50k year, highest in my family, and even I can't afford to rent an apt by myself or be closer to city. That's why I plan to take myself South.
Seems like the South has the best deals. On the other hand, you deal with hurricanes. Good video and I would not have made the chicken nugget connection! Thanks, Javier.
It's not bad if you live in flood zone X. I live in Hammond, La just outside of New Orleans and Baton Rouge and my subdivision has never flooded....even in the great flood of 2016. Plus in California you have to worry about fires. Screw that. Plus everyone parties during Hurricanes. It can be alot of fun.
@@cjbarr0 Interesting. I personally would like to move outta' Phoenix. Housing is ridiculously expensive. Not sure where to go, as housing seems pretty expensive everywhere now. Good info, thanks.
@@arizonanative7409 I was stationed at Luke AFB for a short while and phoenix IS expensive. You can buy a new single story 3 bedroom house with a decent yard where I live for about 150-175k (my new construction house cost $160k). If you wanna live far from people you can buy a 30 yr old house for about 120-130k. Just depends what your looking for.
@@cjbarr0 Wow. I would guess you live in the Midwest or South? Care to share the state? I would like to leave Arizona, not just because of high prices. Last Summer did me in, over 110 for like 50 days in a row. NO rain. Scary place!
@@arizonanative7409 I already shared where I live...... Louisiana...specifically Hammond. Once you get to get to the center of the US (In my experience) it gets significantly cheaper. It gets HOT here and it floods, but there's definitely no shortage of rain, and as long as you live in Flood Zone X you have very little to fear. Flood X doesn't require flood insurance, but I always advocate that you get it anyway. Also like many Texans state, we don't particularly want the *California mindset* AKA don't bring your politics with you (one of the reasons we don't advertise too much). There's a surplus of kind neighbors, and as long as you are willing to try and understand our culture you should have no difficulties making friends in line for groceries. I've been to almost every state and this one is by far my favorite.
@@mr.g937 if it were only that easy. Or why is it pure shit? Live in N.O. for yourself, its like any other crime ridden city America forgot about, but dirtier and worse. The quality of life in the rest of the state is on par, with politicians on both sides who do more for international companies building chemical factories. Relentless bugs and horrible year round weather is a rotten cherry on top. I'm moving soon.
Detroit. With first time homebuyer assistance. I got 1400 sqft 3bed 2 bath 2car garage, for 1150 a mo. 175k home. Only put 3% down with 2% of that comming from the grant. Was able to pay less than $3k out of pocket to get the keys. Had to buy a new washer and dryer, but was able to get into a house just after my 25th birthday and start earning equity. I only make about 40k, but I own both my cars, and have no debt. I'm comfortable and can afford all I need and am able to buy things I want every so often.
Zillow would do a good job of the estimated monthly payment, but it fails to reflect accurate taxes. It calculates it as the local tax rate times the listing price. Realtor's calculator uses the historical annual tax for the house to give a better figure.
5:01 cannot fathom that runty green house is over a quarter million dollars in San Diego. Something seriously wrong with people from there. In Georgia that guy would be $70k maybe? Most every home is $120-$200k outside of Atlanta 🤨
Other states kept saying “if you don’t like the prices in California just move. Don’t rely on the government to help.” Ok dude, now that we’ve moved and brought our wages with us, are you still sure about that?
Fun video!! Its interesting to see what you can get across the country. And I agree Kyle Seagraves has an awesome channel on the lending side of real estate. You, Lizy and Kyle are my favorites!
But some CA folks love to import those CA ways with them to their new home...turning that state into another CA with CA type politicians...look at WA OR CO AZ NV....
Loved this video, so informative‼Can you do some scenarios for Atlanta, Georgia and/or some of the surrounding areas...Marietta, Kennesaw, Norcross, Duluth, Roswell, Alpharetta, Smyrna (first time buyer).
Cypress outside of houston clean, quiet , pretty safe suburban style communities. Big yard for my dog to play in. 750 a month! Mortgage & taxes & insurance escrow. Super affordable i don't even work full time 🙃 i got it 5 years ago. It cost 97k
Its not always your actual house that drives prices up. Its the location you live in; what surrounds ur home. You can put a mansion in the middle of the worst area in town. That mansion wont cost the same as it normally would. We can all do our part to add value to our home and its not ur income, its being clean. Keep ur homes clean especially front yard, keep up with house maintenance, paint your home, water ur lawn. Keep ur streets clean, parks, schools too. this is the first thing people notice as they arrive to town to check out the home theyre interested in.

@@ww21943 that’s what my grandparents did they immigrated to America in nyc with my father from Antigua and they had a apartment their entire life in the US before they moved to Orlando and bought a house really nice house for cheap for retirement
Take the train or bus. No tolls doing that.
"if you have no debt" you lost me there
No debt but not a whole lot saved, hopefully I can make a house happen in a couple years. It sucks because I need a garage the most.
I like your way of explaining with comparisons. Great video 👍
I’m from Los Angeles, the Louisiana house would be way over $1 million. You can’t get anything decent under $600,000.
So true!
What kind of minimum income would one have to have to afford a 600k house in LA?
@@BB-ps6of 110k+
Yo Javie !!
Love the channel. Can you do a video on first time home buyer for the Roseville / Sacramento CA. area. Ppl always do vids for southern cali.
Who needs the Kardashians when we can start our very own self-sustaining tanning cult in Ohio 🤷♀️
I just need one of the kardashians don’t need em all
Lol I was being nosey and read the story in small letters (2:40) it had me dying 🤣 💀 😂 😭
🤣🤣🤣 Javier, I live in Baton Rouge and I am sooo ready to go! There really isn’t much here as everything keeps being moved out of the city/ closer to the country areas. Plus traffic is horrible and our drivers are terrible.
So is the governor and mayor (horrible that is)
I'm 26 and I live in San Diego. I'm debt free and an emergency fund saved. Now I'm looking at home buying. However, even with me banking 2k a month, its going to take years before I put a down payment on something that doesn't even exist here in San Diego. After some research, the only places with slashed home prices include Fresno / Central Valley CA. As a San Diegan, that location feels like another state... lol 😆
Omg I’m dying!! Did anyone else read the fine print?!? Javier, I’m sorry it happened to you but thanks for making me laugh! 😂😂
Yup sounds about right... I live in CT and the East Coast is so expensive. Trying to buy a decent house in a good area on a $50,000 salary is like trying to find a needle in a haystack.
When are you and your family moving here? You’ll love it here!!
Packing now
@@JavyVidana would you like me to set you up on my “hot listings” email drip campaign. 😂
I really liked this vide. I would love to see a breakdown on each state!
for 390k in Buffalo Ny where i live, you can live like a king and send your kids to the best school district in the area. That first house was terrible.
You are absolutely correct with your assessment! I live in the Buffalo area as well (Amherst). 390k would've gotten me my dream house!😔😔😔 I had to settle for the $250k range.
390k can get you a mini mansion here!
Same in Rochester, NY.
@@mrsshelton226 hey you live 5 minutes away from me lol. Amherst is still a terrific area and school district
@@andrewberg6278 yes it is! We moved from Cheektowaga to Amherst recently and I'm confident we made a great decision. We have a 4 year old who will be school age soon so we made the move now. The market is so crazy right now so our 250k could only get us so far but we found a 5 bedroom 2 bath home that will be great for us for years to come.
Keep these vids coming👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Chattanooga area has some surprisingly solid homes for low prices.
You’re videos are very insightful thanks man!
This all nice and dandy, but if you move states you may not make as much income.
If you work from home you can 🤑
I work remotely. Lots of people I know work from home now.
Your income might be lower but your buying power is much higher. In WI its not uncommon for unskilled labor like factory workers to own 2 homes, multiple vehicles, and retire at 65 but make no where near the same income has other states need as a minimum to survive.
Just found this channel and I’m hooked!
The difference is that there is no justification for the AZ homes prices.
Ya there is, alot of ppl from California are moving there and that is why the prices have boomed there.
Having Californians move here is not exactly making AZ more attractive. Did they bring their beautiful beaches or higher salaries with them for us to enjoy?
Higher salaries aren't given, they are earned. Right now it's supply and demand and people are moving here from all over, not just California. New York, Boston, Chicago, and several other states. That's fine if you think it's over priced but 1000s of people a week that buy a home here disagree with you.
@@olfab1 but they have brought you CA cost of living, CA taxes, and CA politics
Javier I been watching a lot of your videos recently since I’m just about ready to buy my own home I gotta tell you They are very helpful I thank you sir
I live in southern California. This video was depressing hahahaha
I love how you list realtors in different States such as yourself who are on TH-cam. I live in MN and I love watching your channel and WTHYL. Do you know if there are others like your channel on TH-cam here in MN? Or just judge my State. Thanks for reading and answering my question. ✌🏾
"Why is it a million dollars?" Northeast, babee
Yeah. I live on the east coast and those prices for AZ homes could only get me a 1-2 bedroom condo here. 😰
A 4 br 2-1/2 bath 2700 sq ft house on 1/3 acre down the street from me just sold for $1.76 million. That's San Francisco East Bay prices for you. $1770 per month Contra Costa County property tax alone, damn...$21,250 per year prop tax. Insane! Probably some techie bought it. I paid mine off years ago, very lucky to be here. Dumb ass next door pays $4600 a month to RENT the place.
Great value broooo!!!! And the beard 🧔 looks great , boss up !!!!
"...and it comes with ghosts im assuming." 😆
That made me laugh!
Thank you for the video! I actually live in Massachusetts, an hour north of Boston, so I was hysterically laughing when you couldn't find affordable nice houses in Boston. Middle class has shrunk so much, it's either extremely low income people or those from old money. I make a decent $50k year, highest in my family, and even I can't afford to rent an apt by myself or be closer to city. That's why I plan to take myself South.
Boston is nice …at least your city is clean and your houses look much decent than some from NYC
Seems like the South has the best deals. On the other hand, you deal with hurricanes. Good video and I would not have made the chicken nugget connection! Thanks, Javier.
It's not bad if you live in flood zone X. I live in Hammond, La just outside of New Orleans and Baton Rouge and my subdivision has never flooded....even in the great flood of 2016. Plus in California you have to worry about fires. Screw that. Plus everyone parties during Hurricanes. It can be alot of fun.
@@cjbarr0 Interesting. I personally would like to move outta' Phoenix. Housing is ridiculously expensive. Not sure where to go, as housing seems pretty expensive everywhere now. Good info, thanks.
@@arizonanative7409 I was stationed at Luke AFB for a short while and phoenix IS expensive. You can buy a new single story 3 bedroom house with a decent yard where I live for about 150-175k (my new construction house cost $160k). If you wanna live far from people you can buy a 30 yr old house for about 120-130k. Just depends what your looking for.
@@cjbarr0 Wow. I would guess you live in the Midwest or South? Care to share the state? I would like to leave Arizona, not just because of high prices. Last Summer did me in, over 110 for like 50 days in a row. NO rain. Scary place!
@@arizonanative7409 I already shared where I live...... Louisiana...specifically Hammond. Once you get to get to the center of the US (In my experience) it gets significantly cheaper. It gets HOT here and it floods, but there's definitely no shortage of rain, and as long as you live in Flood Zone X you have very little to fear. Flood X doesn't require flood insurance, but I always advocate that you get it anyway. Also like many Texans state, we don't particularly want the *California mindset* AKA don't bring your politics with you (one of the reasons we don't advertise too much). There's a surplus of kind neighbors, and as long as you are willing to try and understand our culture you should have no difficulties making friends in line for groceries. I've been to almost every state and this one is by far my favorite.
I love your Zillow reasoning!
LMAO!!!! I was actually looking into buying that exact home a few weeks ago (San Diego) hahahahha tio vibes for sure!!!!
I live just 30 mins from dayton. Can confirm in this area houses are cheaper to buy than rent alot of times. Your money goes pretty far.
I’ve lived my whole life in New Oreans, Louisiana, it’s pure shit.
...and didn't learn how to spell it in all that time...
I graduated from Louisiana Department of Corrections. That spelling isn’t right?
Why?
@@mr.g937 ...he never made enough to leave probably...
@@mr.g937 if it were only that easy. Or why is it pure shit? Live in N.O. for yourself, its like any other crime ridden city America forgot about, but dirtier and worse. The quality of life in the rest of the state is on par, with politicians on both sides who do more for international companies building chemical factories. Relentless bugs and horrible year round weather is a rotten cherry on top. I'm moving soon.
Detroit. With first time homebuyer assistance. I got 1400 sqft 3bed 2 bath 2car garage, for 1150 a mo. 175k home. Only put 3% down with 2% of that comming from the grant. Was able to pay less than $3k out of pocket to get the keys. Had to buy a new washer and dryer, but was able to get into a house just after my 25th birthday and start earning equity. I only make about 40k, but I own both my cars, and have no debt. I'm comfortable and can afford all I need and am able to buy things I want every so often.
Javier you need the beard back in your life
Yes please!
Zillow would do a good job of the estimated monthly payment, but it fails to reflect accurate taxes. It calculates it as the local tax rate times the listing price.
Realtor's calculator uses the historical annual tax for the house to give a better figure.
Lmao @ the story of the ripped pants( 2:41) . Sounds like that family got a "showing" of a life time xD
5:01 cannot fathom that runty green house is over a quarter million dollars in San Diego. Something seriously wrong with people from there. In Georgia that guy would be $70k maybe? Most every home is $120-$200k outside of Atlanta 🤨
Other states kept saying “if you don’t like the prices in California just move. Don’t rely on the government to help.” Ok dude, now that we’ve moved and brought our wages with us, are you still sure about that?
forreal
The ol grass is greener huh
Shout out to you for plugging other TH-camrs to us(:
One day this channel is going to be big
Fun video!! Its interesting to see what you can get across the country. And I agree Kyle Seagraves has an awesome channel on the lending side of real estate. You, Lizy and Kyle are my favorites!
I can afford a house but I can’t afford to see you without beard
Awesome information, can you do North Carolina and Tennessee?
It feels like I'm watching chicken little that aged 20 years
I live in New York City I know it quite expensive to own a home here. I like the new look
Dumping on my home stae of CA but he be right, our state is ridiculous and the politicians are awful too.
But some CA folks love to import those CA ways with them to their new home...turning that state into another CA with CA type politicians...look at WA OR CO AZ NV....
Def judge Oklahoma City vs Tulsa or even Edmond vs BrokenArrow or Jenks vs Nichols Hills
I live in MA, and I can tell you I'm not excited to buy a house here. Houses you can buy for 400k on AZ or OH are in the millions. 😔
I live in Massachusetts too. And you are absolutely correct. It Sucks!
U rock bro no bullying here just learning from your videos great job by the way keep making videos like this
I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say let’s move to Louisiana
I didn't expect it, but this walk through helped me alot
I gotta get outta of California with these housing prices smh.
In Boston you pretty much need to include condos if you're in the 300k-500k range
I'm in Lake Charles, LA it's not a good idea.
Why not move to Houston?
Casino town!
@@Honeycomblife yep every Texas border town has a Casino.
Thanks for sharing, it’s eye opening. I just will like to know if you do buy out of state, how’s the living there, jobs and schools?
Now look at what u can get in Mexico 🇲🇽 with that budget 😂😂😅
Who tf wana live in mexico tho
Lol look at what u can get, might chance ur mind.
“This looks good….that does not look good” I felt that.
Seems we learned if the state is blue it’s out of budget. 😂
Please review Orlando and it's surrounding areas! ♥️♥️
Living in Louisiana is like living in hell that is why it is so cheap.
Loved this video, so informative‼Can you do some scenarios for Atlanta, Georgia and/or some of the surrounding areas...Marietta, Kennesaw, Norcross, Duluth, Roswell, Alpharetta, Smyrna (first time buyer).
But have ya'll been to San Diego? Who doesn't want to live there-- even for a hovel?
Awesome content. Please do more like this including states like Texas, Florida, Kansas, Oklahoma, Washington, Illinois, etc.
Great videos as always!
Cypress outside of houston clean, quiet , pretty safe suburban style communities. Big yard for my dog to play in. 750 a month! Mortgage & taxes & insurance escrow. Super affordable i don't even work full time 🙃 i got it 5 years ago. It cost 97k
A note on mortgage insurance on va loans. It's a 1 time funding fee (1-2%) and with a service connected disability of 10% or more, it's waived.
Thank you for the information !
Great video and you LOOK great 👍🏽
You are providing helpful information so people should really just concentrate on that. I appreciate you
Its not always your actual house that drives prices up. Its the location you live in; what surrounds ur home.
You can put a mansion in the middle of the worst area in town. That mansion wont cost the same as it normally would.
We can all do our part to add value to our home and its not ur income, its being clean. Keep ur homes clean especially front yard, keep up with house maintenance, paint your home, water ur lawn. Keep ur streets clean, parks, schools too. this is the first thing people notice as they arrive to town to check out the home theyre interested in.
Great content!
Yep, you get a lot of house for your money here in Louisiana🏡. I'm in Shreveport.
