The Millennial Real Estate Podcast

As difficult as purchasing a home is right now, a great option might be buying a condo or townhome. With an average lower purchase price, additional amenities, and easier to manage, a condo or townhome might be your ticket to homeownership.

Recently, the Feds kept interest rates where they were. That means they did not lower as many people had hoped and are expecting to happen in 2024. At the end of April, mortgage rates hit 7% for the first time in 2024 and no one knows when the rates will drop. So, if you're waiting for rates to drop to purchase a home, is that a good strategy, or are you missing an opportunity that down the line, you might regret?

Many times as entrepreneurs, we run ourselves so low that we forget one of the most important things - taking time for ourselves. In this episode, Willie and Tami talk about a personal experience Tami had at the end of 2020 when it became imperative that she get away and take that important time for herself. You don't have to go on a vacation and travel to do this. Think about the things that make you truly happy and how can you incorporate them (back) into your life so you can start to live a more fulfilling life again. Make yourself a priority in 2021.

A problem many entrepreneurs have that doesn't get discussed enough is being afraid of the success that comes your way.  Afraid you might not live up to it. Afraid you won't use the success wisely.

What that looks like and feels like and how you can turn that fear into motivation. Simply put, defining what you want success to look like and going for it.

Many times, we talk ourselves out of taking the "leap" because we don't feel that we are ready or we don't have enough to start. Enough money, enough followers, enough time, enough contacts.

Whether it's that hour on your lunch break or the 10 email address you have in your contacts, getting started and building from there is easier than you think.

One of the big things that holds people back, in general, is waiting for permission from someone else to make a move. In business, you’re waiting for someone to give you the okay to go for that promotion, in life, you’re waiting on someone to give you a thumbs up to go and take that leap. We have to stop holding ourselves back by sitting and waiting and do! Stop waiting for someone to invite you to the table and go and make your own table. Go against the grain and be bold!
