If you have a partner that decides what’s for dinner every night… so it is one less decision you have to make…

But also went grocery shopping to get the food…

And then cooks the food… and then cleans up…

every night…

You are lucky and have a keeper 🥰

When I bought my first home as a single female… I was DEATHLY afraid of.. “what if something breaks?!?”

Like a garbage disposal?!?

Don’t worry… even buying a pre-owned home you have warranty options.

Would you think I was crazy if…. I told you to move but keep the house. 🤪

That house with the 3% rate that you’re afraid to sell… what if we just… kept it? Turned it into a rental… the tenant covers the mortgage payment… and we still use the equity of the home to buy your next one.

And now this next home fits your family needs.
You have space again.

What would it look like to have 2 homes…
appreciating year over year?
🏠 $500k home at 2% appreciation = $10,000 x 2 = $20,000 in just ONE year.

By the time you are 60… I bet retirement looks more in reach than having just one home.

If this scares the crap out of you… it should! It did me too. I have personally done this multiple times and have guided many clients through this process and lucky for you - they just made these guidelines even easier!

If you’re interested in exploring this strategy - shoot me a message. I love helping people think outside the box and finding ways to help people reach their financial goals.

Just make sure your money is working hard for you, too.

$20,000 in a savings account earning 0.5% = $100

Or take that 20,000 and buy a 400,000 home. Even if this home only appreciates 2%… = $8,000.

Learning how to make your money work smarter, not harder, isn’t something we learn in school. But at the Nerd Group - it’s the unsolicited advice we offer.

The mission is simple; serve one family at a time to be a little closer to their retirement goals.

These are not 6 principles we threw on the wall for the heck of it…

These are THE standard.

We grow together,
learn together,
have healthy conflict together,
and care enough abt one another that we hold each accountable to that thing, that you don’t want to do, but NEED to do, everyday, to reach your success goals.

To me, THIS is what makes us special. The tech, marketing, systems, and support - that’s just the cherry on top.

If you’re feeling stuck, like there is a lid on your growth, let’s chat!
