    Hi Mrs Hill, can you please do a video on Homeowners insurance, things we should contact them to fix and things we shouldn't bother them with and fix/repair them on our own? I guess to avoid alot of claims against you? This is what I've heard. You are my favorite, Thanks for all you do 🙏🏿🙏🏿

    Thanks for sharing! I always learn so much from your videos. Do you have any videos on what to expect after you brought your first home? If you don’t please consider doing one on what to expect the first five years after buying your first home? There’s so much to learn about the upkeep, taxes and insurance well after the initial purchase. Thanks again and keep the videos coming!

    Hi Shaheeda,
    Thank you for your expert advice. It really helped me and my mom purchased another home. It was my first time actually purchasing a home as my previous home was inherited. I used a lot of your advice did not need the USDA loan but found I think my cousin Kevin Jefferson in Georgia, He led me to my agent. AJ Randall in Houston, my mom and I purchased a new construction home and my selling agent Karen Gillespee in Florida get started, we are so grateful to all 4 of you for guiding us With the process, we are now home owners. New construction. Great deal wonderful home in Houston, Texas. I just wanted to give a shout out of thanks to you. I listened to you religiously last year and learned so much about purchasing a home. And we did so in March of this year. 2024 Thanks a million Shaheeda!!! 🎉🎉

    I requested a pre approval to two companies suggested by Government website. I submitted all the documentation required (takes time believe me, copying, downloading, etc). I got a phone call from a rude lady that told me "Is it that all the money you make a year?, you barely could get $100.000", when I tried to explain about my 401K and the cash I make with side job, my intention to Air bnb a room, she just interrupted me and said she didn't know what I can do with $100.000. I said thank you and hung up. The other company I apply for, didn't even call me. It's so discouraging.

    Gm Mrs Hill. 2 questions,Hoa, I know its included in your Mortagage but when it comes to the payment when you're already in the house is it a separate bill or still included in the Mortagage payment? Reason being, I hear some people stop paying their HOA for various reasons and I figured it may be a separate bill? 2nd question, in a previous video you stated to have at least 7% saved for DP and CC, will the lender let you close without reserves? I watch videos on Homeownership everyday all day lol, I need to educate myself, I don't want to make any mistakes you have taught us lol. Hope all this makes, and enjoy your day. Btw, I've been working diligently on my credit score within the last 2 months, it jumped from 695 to 772/ 787(Credit Karma). I paid off a collections bill and 2 credit cards. If i don't plan on buying until late next year or early 2026🙏🏿 do you think I should still get pre-approved now? I only have 1 loan of $7K left to be debt free. (Sorry that was a 3rd question) 😮. Enjoy your day and stay blessed 😉

    • @ShaheedahHill
      @ShaheedahHill  8 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

      Good morning,
      Answer #1 - The lender will include the HOA payment in your qualification/payment. However, most HOA fees are paid separately from your mortgage payment. So it you are getting a condo for example and that HOA fee is $300 a month, that will factored to the overall payment for qualification purposes.
      Answer #2 - Many..I would even say most lenders will let you close without reserves, but this is a good question to ask during the pre-approval process. Great job on your credit and preparation. I say get pre-approved now, if you haven't watched this video already it explains why - th-cam.com/users/livecpewL4OlpjQ?si=NMM_dJJRqcC58pKt

    Hi Mrs Hill, what happened if you have too different credit score one is higher than the other one?

    • @ShaheedahHill
      @ShaheedahHill  8 วันที่ผ่านมา

      You actually have 3 credit scores, and they will all differ. You have one from Equifax, Experian and Transunion. Mortgage lenders use your middle score, meaning the exclude the highest and lowest and use the middle for qualifying. Thanks for watching.

    • @ShaheedahHill
      @ShaheedahHill  19 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      All credit unions are a little different but many will want you to have an account with them. Some accounts you can open with as little at $5-$25. So you can apply but they may also ask you to open an account, but you don't have to move all of your accounts there. @pennycsingh5427 Thank you for watching

    • @ShaheedahHill
      @ShaheedahHill  19 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      Get pre-approved, if you want to use the down payment assistance start looking for those options. Ask you family member is they will contribute to your closing costs, that might be more important than taking money off the price. Talk to your agent about buying from a family member there are some mortgage rules regarding this, so your mortgage type will matter. Here is some info on FHA - www.rocketmortgage.com/learn/fha-identity-of-interest

    Good evening I just had to pay a lawyer because I’m trying to get my earnest money back I’m so upset now I no that the
    Realtors are just for themselves I thought that if I didn’t want the house that I would be able to get my earnest money back and now they’re giving me a hard time now I am afraid to sign anything. He keeps texting me saying sign his documents. I just keep ignoring him. Should I sign them or wait till he gets the letter from my attorneyabout trying to get my earnest money back thank you for always helping me.

    • @ShaheedahHill
      @ShaheedahHill  8 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      You usually have 3 protections to get your earnest money back, during the due diligence period, finance contingency, appraisal contingency. Also, if the seller is in default. You were right to get a lawyer, but have that lawyer write something up and give it to the lawyer or broker holding the earnest money because they might be able to disperse it to the seller without you signing. How much is it and who is holding it?
