This is How I Bought my First House at 29

Just four years after moving to America with virtually nothing, I bought my very first real estate!

▬ In this video ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Join me as I share an exciting milestone—buying my first property in Florida just weeks after exiting my startup! I’ll show you the process of purchasing two homes on the same property, the challenges I faced, and why Florida is a smart investment for the future.

You’ll also learn:  
- Why getting a loan with a small down payment is often a better strategy than paying cash.  
- The biggest mistake people make in real estate: buying where they live instead of where they can get the best returns.  
- A simple three-step process to find a great deal:  
1. Work with a skilled real estate agent.  
2. Analyze properties using a cash flow spreadsheet.  
3. Focus on areas with strong rental potential and low cost-to-rent ratios.  

This video has tips you can use to build wealth with real estate. Even if, just like me, you don't have a lot of capital to start with.

Respekt! Mit 29 so einen Werdegang hingelegt zu haben ist echt mal was. Ich finde finanzorientierte Videos auch sehr spannend von dir.

Congratulations bruhhh! This is amazing!

Hey mich würde interessieren, wie du einen Kredit bekommen hast, ohne immer in den USA gewohnt zu haben und ein langen Kreditscore aufgebaut zu haben. Ich verfolge dich noch nicht lange genug, um deine ganze Story zu kennen, daher die Frage, ob die Hausfinanzierung aufgrund des hohen Eigenkapitals mit einem, ,kleinen'' down payment möglich war, oder ob es durch einen guten Creditscore möglich war. Danke im Voraus! Viele Grüße aus Deutschland

congrats! 🎉
curious how you evaluated the location. Ofc florida is really popular atm and likely still in the future. but it also suffers disproportionately more from natural Desasters like hurricanes and so on

Congratulations on buying your new home, it's always a great achievement for any young person, especially for an immigrant. Is this an investment property or are you planing to relocate?

Congrats! Glad to see mit phd students end up okay ;) ~a fellow course 6

[frankbosch]

Sehr unterhaltsam gemacht und ich wünsche viel Glück 😊

[andreichirap]

in the good old days you didn't had to be a mit phd graduate to buy a home like this, a construction worker could have bought a house like that without any problem...

Congrats!
Just a question out of curiosity, with what type of visa were you allowed to buy property in the US?
Cheers!

[mylesvmiles]

Also 580k for a house like that? that's insane that's at most worth 350k that could buy you 5 similar sized houses in my country

[johannes]

Congrats, happy for you. Politically it's a conservative state, so that's a plus too.

[jortor]

How much is the whole property cost you i mean the land and the construction of house

[janbolln]

Glückwunsch!!!
Was meinst du mit dem HIGH/LOW bei der Tabelle?

[gorillawear]

Die Häuser in USA sind finde ich vergleichsweise günstig.

[gavinbelson]

Herzlichen Glückwunsch! Wohnst du weiterhin in Cambridge, oder bewohnst du eines der Häuser?
