πŸŽ₯ Ask Anthony the Lender | New Episode 🏑

In celebration of National Homeownership Month, we're continuing the conversation about the important things every future homeowner should understand before ever getting to the closing table.

At Solita's House, we teach BOSS Training, and one of our key principles is:
πŸ‘‰ Never pay for something you don't understand.

That's why in today's episode, Anthony answers a question many homebuyers have when reviewing their mortgage documents:
❓ "What is PMI and why am I paying for it?"

Understanding the costs associated with homeownership is an important part of becoming a confident and informed homebuyer. In this episode, Anthony breaks down what PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) is, why lenders require it, and how it can impact your mortgage.

Perseverance opens the door to homeownership πŸ’›

Ms. Shedrick began her journey with Solita’s House in 2022 with a dream of becoming a homeowner. Determined to make that dream a reality, she worked hard to improve her credit, strengthen her budgeting skills, and grow her savings while preparing herself for the responsibilities of homeownership.

Despite facing challenges along the way, Ms. Shedrick remained committed to her goal. Her persistence paid off when she qualified for the City of Tampa's DARE to Own the Dream Program, securing $50,000 in down payment and closing cost assistance, along with an additional $13,000 from her lender. She successfully closed on her newly built townhouse and is now enjoying the rewards of homeownership. 🏑✨

Her story is a powerful reminder that with preparation, determination, and the right support, the dream of homeownership is within reach.

Please join us in congratulating Ms. Shedrick on this incredible milestone and well-deserved achievement! πŸŽ‰
