If you weren't my mortgage broker I'd of never qualified, unless of course this video was available to me 6 years ago...which it wasn't. My point is that anyone who watches this before they begin the process of buying a house (and applies the knowledge) is going to be way more likely to get a mortgage than if they don't. Keep them coming!
This is extremely informative and digestible for the layperson to get a handle on the undertaking of homeownership. I love the insider information that would not be easily obtained without a lot of personal research. Thank you for sharing!
As a self employed audio engineer, this was exactly the kind of information I needed. Thank you. Also, as a self employed audio engineer, I love that vintage Neumann microphone.
Thank you! I am impressed you noticed that. It looks like a U67 but is actually a somewhat rare T Powered (12 volt) Neumann U77 from the late 60's. It's not phantom powered and requires a power supply like a tube mic (Tracy Korby built a power supply for it). A prior owner changed the mic shell to a vintage U87, but it originally had the same shell as a U67 with the black Neumann badge. U77's are from the rare Neumann 70 series. I also have a pair of KM 74's. The 70 series were Neumann's first solid state mics designed before phantom power was invented so they require a power supply like a tube mic. The U77 has a much higher output level than a U87, almost line level. You don't see many 70 series mics in the U.S. Most of them were sold in Europe for broadcast. I bought a bunch of stuff around 1990-91 from the German TV/Radio network WDR when they had a big auction, prior to their move from Bonn to Berlin.
@@jmikeperkins too cool! Thanks for the details. I was originally thinking U67, because of the connector / mount. But didn’t quite look like what I’m used to seeing on a 67. I’ve heard great things about the 70 series mics but never had the pleasure of working with them. Just the U67, and most of the 80 series (u87, km84, & km86 which is a personal favorite of mine)
