Episode description as stored

I just closed on my biggest home ever, and the process taught me things I did not know even as a money guy. So I brought my realtor Keith James and mortgage lender Jamal on the show to break it all down for you. If you are thinking about buying a home, refinancing, or building wealth through real estate, this conversation is going to save you money and headaches. We talked about why self-employed buyers get penalized even when they have the cash, the difference between APR and interest rate (and how lenders hide fees in the back end), why buying down points right now is usually a waste of your money, the truth about Down Payment Assistance programs and the silent second lien most people never see coming, and why 2 and 3 percent mortgage rates are not coming back any time soon. If you are in the DMV area or anywhere in the United States and you want a realtor and lender who will actually educate you instead of pressure you, Keith and Jamal are who I trust. 📲 Resources I mentioned: - Get the In The Black app: https://www.anthonyoneal.com/intheblack - Open a high-yield savings account with SoFi: https://www.anthonyoneal.com/savings - Protect your family with term life insurance through Ethos: https://www.anthonyoneal.com/ethos ABOUT ANTHONY ONEAL: Anthony O'Neal is a nationally bestselling author, speaker, and host of The Table with Anthony O'Neal.
