FIRST-TIME BUYERS
7 Hot Topics (Served With a Side of Chaos)
2026 EDITION — NO CAPES REQUIRED, JUST A PRE-APPROVAL
Buyers Finally Have Leverage
Remember losing bidding wars to a bunch of strangers, like people going crazy during stock market hours, and somehow you walked away empty handed feeling GRATEFUL about it? Yeah, that era face-planted. Sellers aren't sprinting after buyers anymore — you can actually act like an adult and say "let me think about it" pretending to be sophisticated and all, without knocking someone out, like Mike Tyson, just for a home. The first step is getting pre-qualified, I do have a great team of licensed experts, ready to back you... like the linebackers in a football team protecting their quarterback... which is you. It begins with you picking up your cell phone and dialing 10 digits.... and if your that lazy. Just tweet me at "JJ, NEW HOME NOW!" LOL
The "$450,000K Sweet Spot"
Headlines keep saying first-time buyers are basically extinct, like our Dinosaurs, Only with a mortgage. Meanwhile, Sacramento's real estate market is the busiest at this favorable price bracket of $450k, it's exactly where first-timers shop! Take that Bloggers, Commentators, Fake News! Our Buyers are BACK! and I don't mean like Vampires.... LOL
Free Money Alert (With a Catch)
Okay, Okay, nothing in life is free right... But, you can get "Up to $150K in down payment assistance!" Sounds like money raining from the sky. As if some stickup billionaire decided he doesn't want it and dumped it out of his G6 Jet... It's actually a loan you pay back later in time. So don't quit your day job and buy a Million dollar yacht with the cash you caught from the sky. Lets 1st call me at 279-283-8163 and lets get together with our magnifying glass, as if we were Sherlock Holmes, and read the fine print together. Yes, I know it's boring, but like a visit to the doctor who gave you a lolly pop at the end of your visit, You actually will get your OWN HOME. Way better then a shot and only getting that lolly pop.
House Hacking (Trick or Treat, how about both!)
I've been saying this for years! Buy a duplex, live in one side, rent out the other side, and let a qulified tenant pay a chunk, if not all of your mortgage... every month, right! It's basically adopting a roommate who cleans the home and washes your car. But only this roomate fixes your cash flow. Now you cant treat yourself into laying on that Hammoc. Don't forget the bug spray. Wait! before you think of kicking back now you first have to take action! And I don't mean indiana joans in the temple of doom action. I mean just email me at [email protected], heck get my attention on Social media and say "I Want My Castel!"
You CAN BUY Even if your above 45 - You're Not Behind Buying your 1st house at 45 or 50 years of age does NOT mean you're "behind." It means you're buying at the exact age MOST people actually buy now. The 20-year-old-with-a-house thing was basically a unicorn sighting. You're just... normal like the rest of us. Congrats? your no longer an over achiver but Average. So get your Advil, Tylenol, Motrin ready... It won't be for you it's for me and my team. We go to work for you so you don't have to. We make it smooth and excited from day one till we meet again... And yes we will meet again because I will help you get into your 1st rental property after 3 years! Hows that for passive income and duplication of commissions. But my Lambo will have to wait cause I've not heard from you... Send me a message on FB messenger investwithJJPerez
Assumable Loans: (The Time Machine Loophole - My FLUX Capasitor)
Guys Pay attention! Some sellers are still sitting on old loans at 2%–3% interest from years ago; When we came out of the 2010 regression. While today's buyers are stuck paying way more at 7%, Facts. With the right team by your side, like me JJ here, I will work my magic, as if I were Merlin the grand wizard, and get it done for you. Once qualified for a FHA, VA, or USDA, you can literally take over THEIR old low interest rate! Hows that? Instead of making the bank executive wealthier by getting a brand-new traditional mortgage. It's like buying whole sale instead of paying retail price right! Let's face it, we all love getting a great deal! who wants to pay full price for anything... But 1st my team needs your information to getting you qualified so find me on linked in jj-perez-052782124. Message me "JJ BE MY Real ESTATE PLUG!"
Want to buy home with 1st time Home buyer perks - But you already own a home.
Get Ready to laugh (and buy) your way into your first home! yes! that's right! So the bill was passed that basically allows existing home owners to buy a new home, as if you are a 1st time home buyer. What's the catch? well you have to wait after 3yrs. But you will have a rental property, or a 2nd home, or vacation home whatever... Just know one major thing, I will be following up with you after 3years. So yea, your helping me buy my Bugatti! So yea I WILL FOLLOWUP! & YOU WILL BUY! lol
