  • 052: How to Buy A House In The NEW Age
    Aug 5 2024
    In this conversation, Dominic and Chris discuss the topics of house hacking, subject to investing, and creative financing in real estate. House hacking involves purchasing a property larger than needed and renting out the extra space to offset costs. Subject to investing is a method where the buyer takes over the existing mortgage of a property while keeping the original owner's name. Creative financing refers to finding alternative ways to finance a property purchase. The conversation highlights the benefits and risks of these strategies and emphasizes the importance of working with realtors and motivated sellers. In this conversation, Dominic and Chris discuss three methods of acquiring property: house hacking, subject to, and creative financing. House hacking involves living in a property and renting out a portion of it to cover expenses. Subject to involves taking over the existing mortgage of a property and making payments directly to the seller. Creative financing involves utilizing non-traditional financing methods, such as seller financing, to acquire property. The conversation emphasizes the importance of doing thorough research and consulting professionals before pursuing any of these methods. 🔔 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for More Content: 📌 Connect With Us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Fi Guys ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Monzon Wealth⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 📧 Contact Us: For FI Friday Feedback questions, business inquiries, or collaboration opportunities, ⁠⁠please email us⁠⁠ at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠thefiguysvideopodcast@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 💬 Leave a Comment: We love hearing from our viewers!
