Want to know where to buy? Watch where the coffee goes.

7 Brew put a stand on Randall and Algonquin. The Fresh Market is going into Schaumburg on the old Motorola campus. These companies pay people six figures to study traffic counts and income data before they sign a lease.

They already did the homework on your area, for free. You just have to look up and notice what's getting built. By the time it's obvious, it's priced in.

Thinking about buying in the Fox Valley or the northwest suburbs? Send me a message.

Nurses at Delnor, Sherman, Rush Copley: if your lender told you a number that felt low, they skipped half your paycheck.

Shift differential, per diem, overtime, travel contracts. Most loan officers look at your base rate and stop there. The rest counts too. It just has to be documented the right way, and most people never document it.

You don't need to make more money. You need somebody to count it.

Send me your last two pay stubs and I'll tell you what you actually qualify for in the Fox Valley.

Stop asking the lender "what's your rate." Wrong question.

Ask this instead: what could go wrong with my file, and what are you doing about it right now?

A rate is a guess until you lock it. The lender who found the problem in your pay stubs on day one is the one who gets you to the closing table. Rates change. Preparation doesn't.

I'm not the guy with the lowest rate. I'm the guy who answers the phone on a Sunday when your realtor needs proof of funds in an hour.

Send me a message and ask me that question.

Union electrician, $85,000 a year. Here's how we ran his numbers.

$7,083 a month coming in. $700 car payment. On FHA we can go to about 49% of his income, so his payment allowance lands around $3,127 a month.

He had $25,000 saved and wanted a $300,000 house. FHA, 3.5% down. Cash to close came in just over $20,000, which would have left him with $4,000 to $5,000 in the bank. That almost broke the deal.

We got him $15,000 in IHDA down payment assistance. He didn't have to break the bank.

I think I just found one of the best lunch spots in downtown St. Charles. 🍕

Gia Mia. Meatballs al forno to start, then The Stinger: pepperoni, spicy soppressata, mozzarella, Mike's Hot Honey. Sweet, spicy, dangerous. My guy went chicken Milanese and I had immediate order envy.

St. Charles, where am I eating next? Don't gatekeep. Put me on in the comments.

Una familia que gana $90,000 al año casi se va sin su aprobación. Te explico por qué.

Ingreso: $7,500 al mes. Pago de carro: $500. Buscaban una casa de $320,000 con un pago de unos $2,900. El banco los aprobaba hasta $3,430 al mes. Ahí todo bien.

El problema era el dinero ahorrado: tenían $12,000 y necesitaban traer unos $21,000 al cierre entre enganche y gastos.

Los conectamos con una beca de $15,000 para el enganche y los gastos de cierre. Se fueron con su carta de aprobación.

Si quieres saber cómo calificar o cómo te podemos meter a un hogar hoy, mándame mensaje.

Nobody tells you this about buying your first rental: you buy it as a homeowner, not an investor.

FHA lets you buy a 2, 3 or 4-unit building with as little as 3.5% down. The catch: you live in one of the units for at least a year. That's the whole catch. Your tenants cover part of the mortgage while you live there. After a year, you move out and keep building.

Most people I talk to have never heard this is legal. It's been legal the whole time.

Want to see if it works for you? Send me a message.

Live in Elgin for $390 a month. Here's the math.

Average 2-bedroom rent in Elgin right now: about $1,800.

Instead: a 4-unit building around $500K. FHA, 3.5% down, about $17,500. Payment all in with taxes and insurance, call it $4,590.

You live in one unit and rent the other three at $1,400 each. That's $4,200 coming in. Your share of the housing payment: $390.

Your tenants cover the rest.

Want to see if the numbers work for you? Send me a message.

They're building an entire downtown on the old Motorola campus in Schaumburg, and half of you have no idea.

225 acres at Algonquin and Meacham. Topgolf is already there. The Fresh Market is going in, plus 200,000 square feet of retail and restaurants and 600 apartments. Retail starts opening this fall.

Jobs, restaurants, traffic, people follow that. Money goes where it's headed.

Want to buy in or around Algonquin? Comment ALGON and I'll reach out.
