Greetings readers! Long time no blog, sorry about that. What
a ride! This year has been quite an amazing experience! I apologize for not
posting more often this year. With the success of my #1 bestselling book (Thank
YOU readers!), being nominated for a Pulitzer Prize in non-fiction literature,
TV & Radio appearances, teaching first time home buyer seminars and of course
serving my clients as a licensed mortgage loan originator I have been a bit
busy. I have had the privilege of helping so many first time home buyers. It's
such a joy to be at their loan closing and experience their joy, pride and
sense of accomplishment with them. Wow! I have the best mortgage clients and am so blessed when they also become friends. And don't forget the investment
property I bought and rehabbed earlier this year. It's all done and now
both sides of my new duplex are rented and cash flowing. I love real estate!
Ok, so now that you are updated on what's
new with me....why am I choosing to invest time blogging again after my internet absence? I'm still just as busy as I have been, as I am constantly working to improve myself and help more people. Well, 2 reasons; the
first reason I'll get to in a minute. The second reason is that I didn't
realize how many of you are reading my blog. You don't comment often, so I
didn't know how many of you have actually been reading and enjoying the
information. I am so glad to see that so many of you find my blog posts and book
a helpful resource for you. I realize that mortgages are not the most
interesting topic, so I do try to make it fun & interesting while saving
you thousands of dollars. My mission is to save as many people as possible as
much money as possible and for you not to have too much trouble with your paperwork while
going through the mortgage process. Oh, and most important in that experience,
that you actually get approved and close on your loan for your home. Please feel free to
email me at info@bestmortgagebook.com with any questions. I'm happy to answer
you. Also, I welcome your positive comments and questions on my blog.
Now back to reason #1 for my blog post
today. Are you at Home? What is Home? What does Home mean to you? Ah,
Home, lots can be said about the word Home. There are many little phrases and
cute anecdotes; we've all heard, "home is where the heart is", right?
To me, home is where I am at peace. If I am at peace, my heart will be there as
well. This can be anywhere, however, to me it's most enjoyed with those I love around
me and the bonus is my creature comforts.
I've had the tremendous pleasure of
traveling all over the globe in the past few years and visiting many friends in
their homes as well as staying in hotels. While I enjoy the convenience of
someone else making the bed and cleaning my room at a hotel, the warmth,
kindness and generosity of friends of course always wins me over, as I am addicted
to good stimulating conversation and the opportunity for genuine human
connection. Those cherished moments in a friend’s kitchen while cleaning up after making dinner together or brewing morning coffee is the glue that binds our friendships and continues to
stimulate my mental and emotional growth. I am so grateful for all those in my
life who have hosted me at their homes. I am so blessed to a variety of friends
who live in a variety of places who have welcomed me into their homes. I have
friends that own their homes, friends that rent their homes, friends that live
in the city, in the country, on the ocean, on a river, on a boat, in a river
millhouse, on a vineyard, in the mountains, in the suburbs, in a condo, in a
single family home, in a townhouse, all varieties.
This morning, as I watch the beautiful
sunrise come up over the Atlantic Ocean at a generous friend's home and have
the warm feeling of peace in my heart I invite you to have a dialog with me.
What does HOME mean to you? And what is the benefit of owning that home
to you? For some it's financial security. For others it's knowing that
it's theirs, that peace of mind and comfort of their worldly possessions being
in one place and that they can personalize it anyway they see fit. For others
it's the experience of growing roots and becoming involved in a community and contributing.
I'm also personally fond of the pride of home ownership as well. There's also
something to be said for making your very own space perfect for you. How about
all of the above? In your home, you can create whatever you want and contribute
to your community in however you see fit. You have the option to choose.
So, please tell me what does HOME mean to
you? If you own, tell me why you own. If you rent, let me know why you
want to own your home.
