Mortgage insurance can feel like just another line item in a monthly paymentโ€ฆ but that extra cost matters. ๐Ÿ‘€

With many traditional loan options, financing more than 80% of a homeโ€™s value means mortgage insurance gets added to the equation.

And that can mean:

๐Ÿก A higher monthly paymentโ€จ๐Ÿก More money going toward mortgage insuranceโ€จ๐Ÿก Less of that payment going toward building equity in your home

But with SouthStateโ€™s Portfolio Prime, eligible borrowers may be able to finance up to 90% of the homeโ€™s value with no mortgage insurance.ยน

Same idea of putting less than 20% down โ€” very different outcome.

Because without MI added to the payment, you may be able to keep that monthly cost lower while putting more of your payment toward the home itself.

Keep more. Build equity faster.ย ๐Ÿ™Œ

And thatโ€™s exactly what this series is about: showing you where the โ€œtraditionalโ€ way isnโ€™t necessarily the only way.

Chapter 1 down. More options coming next. ๐Ÿ˜‰

The One Where the One That Got Awayโ€ฆ Came Back ๐Ÿคž

A few missed homes, a little patience, and one very well-timed second chance.

These buyers had a few near-misses along the wayโ€”including THIS house, which went under contract with another buyer.

So, we waited.

And sure enough, the home came back around, they got their second chance, and this time it was theirs. ๐Ÿ‘

Such a great transaction with great buyers, and a pretty solid reminder that sometimes a missed opportunity isnโ€™t actually a missed opportunityโ€”it just needs a minute.

Big thanks to the agent who helped make the second time around the right one:โ€จ๐Ÿ™Œ Hannah Hester, Realtorยฎ๏ธ with Ansley Real Estate Christie's International

Congratulations to my buyers, your patience paid off! ๐Ÿ”‘

The One Where โ€œWeโ€™re Not Buying Yetโ€ Lasted One Weekend ๐Ÿค

โ€œWeโ€™re not buying a house in the next couple of weeks. We just want to be ready.โ€

Famous last words. ๐Ÿ˜‚

This amazing couple did exactly what I always encourage buyers to doโ€”they started the process early so they could understand their options, get prepared and be ready whenever the right house eventually came along.

Turns out, โ€œeventuallyโ€ meantโ€ฆ that weekend.

Day ONE of looking, they found it. ๐Ÿ‘

And because theyโ€™d already done the work upfront, they were ready to move when the right home showed up a whole lot sooner than expected.

Couldnโ€™t have asked for a better team to turn their very short house hunt into a closing:โ€จ๐Ÿ™Œ Stafford Weber + Rebecca Kubin Stafford Weber | Rebecca Kubin | Atlanta | Realtors with Compass

The One Where She Worked for Itโ€”and Got It ๐Ÿ”‘๐Ÿ‘

First-time homeowner officially has a nice ring to it.

Especially when you know how hard she worked to make it happen.

My client had a goal of buying her first home, and she worked and worked to get herself there. She put in the time, did what she needed to do, stayed focused on the goalโ€”and now she officially has the keys to her very first condo. ๐Ÿก

Getting to watch all of that hard work actually pay off is one of the best parts of what I do.

Congratulations, my friend. You worked your butt off for this oneโ€”and now you get to call it YOURS. ๐Ÿ™Œ

The One Where Three Acres Turned Into Eighteen ๐Ÿค ๐ŸŒพ

I donโ€™t normally highlight refinances around here, but this one deserves a spot on the feed.

My borrower already owned an amazing three-acre property in Butler, Tennessee. Then the 15 acres next door became an opportunity he didnโ€™t want to pass up.

So instead of looking elsewhere for the funds, we looked at what he already had.

He cashed out some of the equity in his current property to purchase the land next doorโ€”turning the investment heโ€™d already made in real estate into an opportunity to own even more of it. ๐Ÿ‘

And THAT is one of the coolest things about real estate.

Your property isnโ€™t just where you live. Over time, the equity you build can become a tool to help you make your next move, invest further, orโ€”in this caseโ€”turn three acres in the country into 18.

He started with an amazing property. Soon, heโ€™ll have his own little version of the Dutton Ranch. ๐Ÿค 

Congratulations, my friend. I think John Dutton would approve.

The One Where They Found Something Even Better Than the Plan ๐Ÿซก

What a fun closing story!

This wonderful son purchased a home for his parents so they could be closer to him. ๐Ÿฅน

They started their search looking specifically for one-level living, and this home definitely wasnโ€™t what they originally had in mind.

But then they saw it.

They were completely blown away by the quality and beauty of this new constructionโ€”and suddenly, the original plan didnโ€™t matter quite as much. Sometimes the right home surprises you like that. ๐Ÿ‘

Such a special reason to buy a home, and such a fun one to be a part of.

Big thanks to the team who helped bring this family a little closer together:โ€จ๐Ÿ™Œ Kohler Sartain Real Estate with Dorsey Alston, Realtors ยฎ โ€จ๐Ÿ™Œ Empire Homes Georgia
