Sis you spoke a word on here!!! I think it’s a great idea to get a condo. People don’t understand the full effect of maintaining a home period and you never want to be House rich and cash poor. I can’t wait to see what you do cause if it’s anything like your fashion we’re in for a treat!!! Congratulations again!♥️

Brittany you should not feel embarrassed about purchasing a condo, not many single women are capable of such a great accomplishment. I bought my first place when I was twenty one and I've never rented another place since. It was a fixer but I jumped in and learned how to do a few things to improve it. You will be thrilled when you do your taxes next year and get your mortgagee interest deduction too! If you can get yourself to a place where you can save for your next place but keep your last and rent it out, and can do that a few times, you will have a nice little nest egg when you are ready to retire!

I purchased a SF home 8 years ago and let me tell you...home repairs/maintenance, yard work, snow removal and again repairs/maintenance is TOO MUCH for this chick! I’m trying to stay put until my son finishes school...we have 4 years! I will sell my house, downsize to a condo or TH in a gated community with HOA fees so that I can have hassle free living.

I never knew there was a negative stigma for buying a condo. I always thought it was a wonderful choice for ppl who wanted to own but, without the extra stress that comes with a house.

So happy you stepped out of yourself and accepted what God had for you 😊 a lot of ppl wouldn’t nor admit they needed to humble themselves! Many future blessings to you!!!! 💜

Congratulations my dear Brittany. I got my first property at age 30. You are so wise and so humble. Be always proud of your accomplishments! You are a role model. I am in my 40s and I admire you.

Girl, you sound like me. I will soon be closing on my condo. My SFH fell through. My son will be a freshman and I prefer him to stay in his district. I never considered a condo. But, as you say God is in control. I’m a single mom, will be starting my Master’s this fall, working 2 jobs. I also asked my closing cost and got it. My mortgage with HOA dues is the amount I paid in my apartment. I sacrificed for 2 years, moved back with my parents and I’m 38. Trust God is in control, we just have to trust the process.

Nothing better than having something of your OWN 💰🗣😌🙌🏾 I am 23 and I definitely feel like Condo living would be great for me I don’t have any kids so I wanna purchase a Condo within the next year or so time to MANIFEST thank you for this video sis ❤️

[KeikoBeauty]

Loved this video!! You made great points! I think when i buy my first home it'll definitely be a condo. I like the security, being single. Woo i love what you said, you made the right choice for you without thinking about others! I think too many ppl get caught up buying what everyone els is buying. I love your place 💕

[bettysmith]

Don't be embarrassed, why would you be?  I bought my first home, and it was a garden style condo (never would I buy that style again), but I got sick of the noise, the HOA, and the. close neighbors and switched to a single family house, with no regrets. You have to do whatever is best for you and your lifestyle. If you don't want the extra work of a yard, and some outside repairs, the condo is the way to go, many are even 3 bedrooms now! Congrats on your home, I know this is an older video, but you should be so proud of yourself!

I am a 28 y.o single woman. No kids. I want to purchase a town home by myself but just the thought of getting everything started gets me overwhelmed. Im still saving money and talking about "one day..." ughh

[blueskyy]

I like the fact that you are being so real about your home buying process. God bless!

[curlstheworld]

Your skin is a dream! I can't stop staring at how perfect and luminous it is!!

[lindagreen]

I love the way that you acknowledge God...then know that He got you just keep Him first. The blessings of the Lord makes it rich and add no sorrow. Be Blessed can't wait see what s next❤️

[kristinrodriguezrealtordmv]

Congrats doll! Great info. I really wanted a condo initially, but the condo fees here in the DC /Northern VA area are crazy (400-900 per month). I decided to increase my budget and get a Townhome. I just closed 60 days ago! I don't believe as a single woman, a single family home would have been the best move for me. Awesome, awesome video!

Congratulations on the purchase of your first home..you have to do what's right for you...no one's going to be paying YOUR bills except you...it doesn't matter what others think or have...there is great potential in your home...well done

[charismaticchaney]

My first purchase was a condo and I didn’t like it. It was mainly because I’m from the country in Texas and I am use to yard work and being outside putting in work into the house. The condo association fees were ridiculous....An extra $300 PER MONTH and all they did was upkeep the grass and pool. Those fees would increase each year as people moved out. I now own a single family home and I love it. It all depends on where you are purchasing your home. I finally moved back to Texas and made my purchase and I love it!!! It’s all about what you want!

I went the condo route as well. If someone feels like a real home owner because they have a lawn to mow, good for them. I get that feeling every time I pay a bill.
