Hey there, it’s Bruce Woodburn, CrossCountry Mortgage, The Loan Arranger and it’s time for the three big things you need to know. Now pay close attention because I got some details that I want to cover with you today that are very important.

1. But the first thing I want to talk about is the K92.3 All Star Jam, just chock full of amazing country talent as you probably know. I’m a big country fan and I’m going to be the sponsor of the K92 All Star Jam on December 10th at Additions arena at UCF. There might be a few tickets available for some friends and family and clients out there that may be listening to this. So give me a call or shoot me a text on my cell phone when you get the message, if you’re interested in that and I’ll put you in the running.
2. Second big thing is I’m having a home buyers class on December 1st. It’s zoom meeting, you can register at, WeBringYouHome.com. Now I’m committed to helping everybody get into a home by New Year’s. But I’m gonna tell you something, making 2022 the year that you become a homeowner should be on everybody’s minds, rents are going up faster than mortgage rates, faster than home prices even. You’re gonna get yourself priced out of the market if you don’t stop and get in the market right now. It’s time, there’s no more time to waste. Let’s do it. All you got to do is give me a call and apply online at WeBringYouHome.com.
3. Now, the third thing I want to cover with you today are some numbers. So if you have a pen and paper handy, I want you to write this down. I know that everybody is making money in the market these days. As a matter of fact, you don’t even have to be a good financial advisor to be a winner in today’s market. Everybody’s making tons of money. 15-20% of the market. I’m seeing people at 30-35% returns in the stock market. Real estate is your best Investment ever. Stocks are your second best investment. So let’s talk about real estate real quick. Let’s just say you’re a first time home buyer and you buy a home for $300,000. Now you want to get into a home with minimum down payment, that’s 3.5% down. So 3.5% of $300,000 is $10,500. That’s your investment. That’s all you’re investing. $10,500. Now, if that property goes up just 3%, You made $9,000 in your first year, That means your return on your investment in one year is 86% return on your investment. I don’t know anybody that got an 86% return on their investment, on any stock. Now I want to put this more in perspective for you so you’re crystal clear. The same scenario, $300,000 house, you put 3.5% for a $10,500 investment. It went up 7%. That means that you made $21,000 in appreciation in one year. That is a 200% return on your investment. It just doesn’t get any better than that folks and you’ve got to have a place to live. If you know anybody that’s currently renting right now, Help them out, do them a favor, give them my phone number, tell them to call me. I will personally make sure I help each and every one of your friends and family members become a homeowner in 2022 I’m committed to it.

I hope you have a happy thanksgiving. It’s my favorite holiday. It’s a great time to really celebrate and don’t forget to reach out to an old friend, maybe a family member that you haven’t really connected with. May have been some riffs in the relationship at one point, be the right person, Be the one to make that phone call to say happy thanksgiving. God bless all of you and I look forward to talking to you next week. Same time, same place. Happy Thanksgiving.
