I’m sure your parents or grandparents have told you a story about buying their first home for around $25,000 with a ridiculous mortgage payment of $96 per month or something like that. And how they struggled to wrap their mind around those outrageously high prices.

It was so far out of their comfort zone.

I’m also sure that this story came up around the time they hired a Realtor to sell that same house, years later, for 5 or 6 hundred thousand dollars!

That decision to step out of their comfort zone back in the 60s or 70s, literally set the stage for their financial independence today. Their ability to support themselves into retirement as well as pay for their kid’s college along the way is a direct result of stepping out of their comfort zone back in the day.

Today, we are at a point in time that your children and grandchildren will talk about in the future.

This is your “Back in the day”.

As a first time home buyer, this is your opportunity to step out of your comfort zone and set your stage for financial independence.

My mentor, once said to me “Mark, I want you to succeed, more than I want you to like me”

That thought has resounded in my mind ever since.

And I want you to succeed, to buy your first home, more than I want you to like me.

This means that I may say a few things that you don’t like. But please understand, it will always be the truth and it will always lead you to setting your stage.

My words are not intended to make you like me; they are intended to get you out of your comfort zone.

To get you to stop paying your landlord’s mortgage and start paying your own.

To stop building equity for your landlord and start building equity for yourself.

The hardest part of this journey is to take the first step and the first step is to book an appointment.
