People can sell their homes by themselves if they want to do the leg work and learn what they need to do to sell it. Some people may hire a lawyer to help them with the paperwork or hire a service to put it on MLS.  Before I became a Realtor, I used Real Estate Agents to help me buy and sell my homes and Investment properties. I used them because I wanted the most money for my properties and wanted to sell them quickly. That is why I hired full service and Realtors to market my investments. Each month that I owned something there is cost of owning most properties. From Taxes, Utilities to possible HOA fees and more.

Some people feel they can just put a sign in their yard and it will sell. They could be right. Some think just putting it on the MLS will sell it fast and they could be right. I just know for me I want to do my best to not just sell it quickly but I want to get the most money for my investment as I can. So, I used to look for a realtor that did more than just a sign in the yard and putting my home or Investment property on MLS. I wanted a realtor that is going to actively Market my investment and make it a priority and not just another listing.

“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results”. By Albert Einstein. I would also say the definition of insanity is believing you can live a financial responsible life without tracking how you are doing, having a budget and goals. I like following others who track their finances to compare our also. I enjoy helping people with their finances and goals.

We want to give our boys education on home ownership and the best chances to have their money last them thru their retirement years and have them reach their Financial Freedom goals. They need to live somewhat with a frugal mindset and spend less than they make so they can Invest towards their Financial Freedom goals. The boys will need to maybe put off Net Flix or buying a New Video game or going to the movies until they are on the path to Financial Freedom.

Let me know your thoughts about this blog and let me know of others you would like me to do in the future. I feel we can all learn from each other. That is why I am in the helping people retire early, enjoy life more and be more successful. I like to use books I own, Google.com, Training Notes and chatopenai.com for research info for my podcasts and blogs.

If you don’t know our story of how we ended up in Arizona let me tell you. It started about 9 years ago and we were living in the Midwest and finished up a really cold and gloomy winter. We said let’s pick a place to live at that we would want to retire at someday. So, we made a list of several warm states and decided on Arizona. Darlene liked Arizona for the Dry Heat for her bones and joints. I liked it for Golf all year around and lower taxes. We also wanted to move before the kids were in High School. Now the boys both say they never want to leave Arizona. Darlene and myself feel the same way.

 I like asking people I meet here what brought them to Arizona and how long they have lived here. I like hearing their stories. Some were raised here in Arizona and never wanted to leave. Some came here for college and never wanted to leave. Some came for a job transfer and some came for similar reasons that we did. Everyone has a story and why they live here in Arizona. Of course, we have snow birds also that live half the year here and the other half somewhere else. Snowbirds are normally here from October to May.

Over the years I have used both Pre-Qualified and Pre-Approved letters in the past when I was making overs on homes to live in or Investment properties. Of course, now a days I am a fan of Pre-Approved since it can speed up the buying process and being pre-approved for an exact loan amount with a written commitment letter.

I know it is much easier to get a Pre-Qualified letter when house shopping but lets explore the differences between pre-qualified and pre-approved loans. Remember I am not Loan Expert and that you should seek advice from a Mortgage lender for information that’s best for you.

So, if you’re in the market to buy a home, this episode is a must listen. Pre-qualification is typically the first step in the home loan process. It’s an informal assessment of a borrower’s financial situation based on their self-reported income, assets, and debts. This information helps the lender provide a rough estimate of how much they may be eligible to borrow.

Not everyone is ready to sell their house but they may be in the future. I know for myself I have moved many times. In the last 10 years I have moved 4 times. We do plan on staying in our current house but we never know what our future may bring us so we are always ready in case we would need to sell our house. We keep it like we tried to have our Grocery Stores look when we were in the business.   As always, I am not giving you any Financial Advice and you should seek advice from your Professional Advisors to see what is best for your situation.
