I can't wait to buy my first house renting it's not fun anymore. Time to get a piece of America and build some equity with ownership. Thank you I'm still watching and learning Mrs. Hill

I purchased my 1st home last year... I'm a home investigator as I call myself... Idid my own research...I was blessed to have my cousin as my realtor and she did just as much research as I did... my home is in the school district I wanted it's a ranch style... my neighbors are super nice it's quite There's older couples across the driveway and across the street... direct next door our children are the sames exact ages... they invite us to everything... They went to paint there fence and asked us our option not that they had to because it's their fence... They recently invited us to their daughters Quince ❤

I tell people that houses come in ages and stages of life. For example, a younger person or couple buying a two story home vs. People of a particular age buying a ranch.

Spot on with the slope!!! My dad’s house/childhood home has a large downhill slope into the woods in the backyard. We’re known for hosting big cookouts every summer, but that slope makes it hard for everyone to convene outside because you can fall down the hill lol. We have a deck but you can only fit but so many people on it. After being in the home for about 20 years now, he is looking to move and his #1 criteria is the new home’s backyard is leveled. That slope is DREADFUL and it costs a lot to have it leveled. My neighbors did level theirs though.

I like my room to be on the main floor. I'm not getting any younger. I would love to stay in my home to the end.

Thank you Shaheeda, wish I had this info 2yrs ago, you are really helping a lot of people by posting this, the realtor or inspector did not look out for me in any way shape or form when I purchased a home I'm devastated, thank you once again, this was very informative

Mrs. Hill NEVER misses on giving us the Intel!!! You're greatly appreciated!

I absolutely love the main bedroom being on the bottom level away from the kids so I can have a little bit of peace of mind. So I so be looking for these properties.

I'm always appreciative of when content creators make "First time Home Buyers" videos because it's a very big step in anyone's life. That's why the Instagram post is so popular.

I purchased my first home in 2020 when i was single with 1 kid for 242k 1700 sqft townhome 3 bedroom. Was perfect at the time 3rd bed was office. By 2024 i had 2 more kids and a wife so i sold it for 385k and bought a larger home at 580k 5 bedrooms and a office 3300ish sqft. I plan to stay here atleast 15 years maybe for good...

[momof]

Wow I purchased my first home and I have 5 children and I was attracted to my home because the main level had a master it’s a plus

[flawlessish]

I'm ok with the master suite on the main floor ai just don't want my kids on the main floor unless it's a ranch As a parent we are the first line of defense I just think what if someone breaks in they have to get to us before they get to my babies

[leerussell]

When my little ones were much younger (K/1st grade), I saw a beautiful home that had a master on the main and all of the secondary bedrooms upstairs. The representative mentioned, "They won't be little forever, " but for me, it was definitely a deterrent from moving forward.

I mean those are things to consider but when you on a budget and on a strict timeline to buy b/c your rental lease is almost up and you don't want to renew, you got to make some compromises. My home has a slope in the backyard and my neighborhood is majority renters. I would've preferred different but I had to make it work. So my equity did grow 100K in 3 years and the trajectory is that it will keep growing above the average appreciation rate. To first time home buyers, unless you are wealthy, most likely you gonna have to compromise on some things and that's OK, just try to be strategic as possible about it. I was able to better tolerate my slope b/c I have a nice size patio deck which keeps me out the yard most of the time. And the renters here are slowly but surely leaving as the prices go up. I have a neighbor who rented for 15+ years that just left .... I am being patient.

Honestly, when I'm buying a house, I'm buying it for me not anyone else.

Don't buy Apartment's Renamed "Condo" in fact Don't buy a Condo either if you don't have too.

1. Avoid areas with too many renters

2. Town homes or condos that are not FHA available

3. Homes with slopes front and back

4. Master on the main and rest of the bedrooms upstairs

5. Senior communities only allow guests 30 to 60 days an year

6. 10 to 20 yr old homes should have roof heaters and ac replaced

7.
