Jacob shares his journey of strategically buying their first home with the goal of living for free by renting out a portion on Airbnb. They discuss the concept of house hacking, setting up a space on Airbnb, financing, managing a rental property, and the advantages of house hacking. Let's dive into the key takeaways and actionable advice from this episode. What is House Hacking? House hacking is a strategy where you buy a home or rent a space, live in part of it, and rent out the other part to cover your living expenses, such as your mortgage or rent. This concept can be customized to fit your specific goals and lifestyle. For Jacob and his wife, house hacking allowed them to buy a home closer to downtown Nashville without doubling their rent expenses.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://workitliveitownit.com/episode/living-practically-free-the-power-of-house-hacking-with-jacob-reeves">Listen to our conversation</a> Key Benefits of House Hacking: Reduced Living Expenses:** Use rental income to cover your mortgage or rent.

Identify Your Target Demographic: Tailor your space to attract your ideal guests. For Jacob, this meant catering to bachelorette trips in Nashville. 2.

Overcoming Challenges in House Hacking Jacob and his wife faced several challenges on their journey, but their determination and strategic planning helped them succeed. 1. Finding the Right Property: Separate Living Spaces: They were adamant about not sharing their living space with guests. They found a property with a separate basement entrance, allowing them to maintain privacy. 2. Financing: Smooth Process: They were fortunate to find a lender and realtor who specialized in house hacking, making the financing process smooth. 3. Running the Numbers: Detailed Analysis: Jacob created a spreadsheet to input all relevant data, such as mortgage rates and potential Airbnb income, to make informed decisions. Important Lessons Learned 1. Trust Your Research: Run the Numbers: Use tools and spreadsheets to analyze potential income and expenses. This helps in making informed decisions rather than relying on guesswork. 2.

Build a Supportive Team: Network: Connect with realtors, lenders, and other professionals who understand and support your goals.

Understand your market, run the numbers, and learn from others who have successfully house hacked. Key Takeaways: Do Your Research:** Understand your market and potential earnings.

Living for Free: The Power of House Hacking with Jacob Reeves

I have the privilege of engaging with some of the most creative minds in various industries. In a recent episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Misty Molloy, the creative force behind Co-Creative Interiors. Our conversation revolved around home renovations, design, and the importance of setting realistic budgets. Here's a recap of our enlightening discussion. Meet Misty Molloy: A Creative Force in Interior DesignMisty Molloy is no stranger to the world of design. She launched her career in 2019, just before the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Despite the challenges, she has persevered and continues to make her mark in the industry. Her expertise lies in unlocking the hidden potential of homes through design, and she has a knack for fitting furniture into any space, new or existing.<div class="se-component se-video-container __se__float-center"><figure style="box-sizing: border-box; border: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; display: block; margin: auto !important; padding: 0px 0px 514.875px; font-size: inherit; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; line-height: 1.5em; font-family: inherit; color: inherit; -webkit-user-drag: none; overflow: visible; position: relative; outline: none; direction: ltr; left: 0px; width: 915.333px; max-width: 100%; height: 514.875px;"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/qSxlsn6YWJQ" data-proportion="true" data-align="center" data-percentage="100%,56.25%" data-size="100%,56.25%" data-file-name="qSxlsn6YWJQ" data-file-size="0" data-origin="100%,56.25%" style="box-sizing: border-box; border: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-size: inherit; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; line-height: 1.5em; display: block; font-family: inherit; color: inherit; -webkit-user-drag: none; overflow: visible; position: absolute; width: 915.333px; height: 514.875px; max-width: 100%; outline: rgb(158, 158, 158) solid 1px; top: 0px; left: 0px; z-index: 0;"></iframe></figure></div>Setting Realistic Budgets for Home RenovationsOne of the key topics we discussed was the importance of setting realistic budgets for home renovations. Misty emphasized the need for transparency and providing clients with all the necessary information to make informed decisions. She highlighted the hidden costs that people often overlook, such as issues behind walls, shipping, and delivery.Misty suggests starting with a "lipstick update" approach, focusing on smaller updates like painting cabinetry, replacing backsplash, and upgrading appliances and lighting. This approach allows homeowners to phase out renovations or do "lipstick updates" until they can afford a full-blown renovation.The Art of Furnishing with StyleFurnishing a room from scratch can be a daunting task, especially when you consider the cost. Misty believes in transparency and provides a complete breakdown of the necessary pieces for a space. She advises homeowners to do some research on average costs for items like sofas and countertops, so they are mentally prepared when putting all the numbers together.When it comes to getting quotes, Misty explains that material costs and labor costs can vary. It's important to consider functionality and quality when comparing quotes. Sometimes, a higher quote may include material costs, making it more comprehensive than a lower quote that only covers labor.Unlocking a Property's PotentialMisty has a unique ability to help homebuyers see a property's potential through her creative vision. She uses e-designers and services to create basic floor plans that give a sense of the space's potential. She emphasizes the importance of blowing up the floor plan to a larger size, using programs like Canva, to provide a more realistic sense of the space.Stepping Outside the "Gray and White Box"Our conversation also touched on the topic of color in home design. Misty encourages individuals to consider their personal preferences rather than following trends. She suggests looking at historic homes with vibrant colors as inspiration for timeless and classic design choices. Changing the color of trim can be a simple way to add a fun and unconventional touch to a space.Wallpaper: A RevivalMisty acknowledges that some people have reservations about wallpaper due to past experiences. She advises working with professionals who can properly prepare the walls and choose the right type of wallpaper. She also cautions against using peel and stick wallpaper, as it can be challenging to work with and may damage the walls.Starting the Workday RightMisty shared her tips for starting the workday for maximum productivity. She emphasizes the importance of planning ahead the night before, writing down tasks that need to be accomplished or were left unfinished. This practice clears her mind and sets her up for a productive day ahead.Living AuthenticallyWhen asked about her guiding mantra or philosophy, Misty talks about being true to her brand. She believes in using what you love and being what you love. This philosophy helps shape all of her decisions and allows her to live authentically.Unlocking Hidden Potential: Misty's Upcoming E-BookOur episode concluded with a mention of Misty's upcoming e-book, "Unlocking Hidden Potential." The book provides a detailed guide for both realtors and homeowners, breaking down the topics discussed in the episode. It also includes helpful tools, such as a budget calculator, to assist with starting the design process.&nbsp;For those interested in following Misty on social media or seeking her design services, her contact information is readily available.

Unlocking the Hidden Potential of Your Home: A Conversation with Misty Molloy

I recently had the pleasure of hosting Lucy Wahl, a professional organizer and founder of Edits LLC, on my podcast. We had an enlightening conversation about the importance of organizing both our work and personal lives. Lucy's insights were not only practical but also deeply philosophical, touching on the essence of modern urban living. <div class="se-component se-video-container __se__float-center" style="width: 100%; min-width: 100%;"><figure style="width: 100%; height: 56.25%; padding-bottom: 56.25%;"><iframe frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Wz0vgD4I5Y0" data-proportion="true" data-align="center" data-percentage="100%,56.25%" width="100%" height="56.25%" data-size="100%,56.25%" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;" data-index="0" data-file-name="Wz0vgD4I5Y0" data-file-size="0" data-origin="100%,56.25%"></iframe></figure></div>The Journey to Professional OrganizingLucy's journey into professional organizing began in 2014 when she founded Edits LLC. Her mission was simple: to bring common sense and organizing solutions to modern urban living. She believes that an organized home is the foundation of a beautiful life that prioritizes relationships, activities, and commitments.From a young age, Lucy had a love for organization and a keen sense of style. She shared her personal story, which resonated with me and, I'm sure, many of our listeners.The Pitfalls of Premature OrganizingOne common mistake we discussed was the tendency to buy organizing containers and gadgets before actually decluttering. I admitted to being guilty of this, and Lucy's advice was a wallet-saver. She suggested starting small, focusing on one area at a time, and not overwhelming oneself with decluttering the entire house in one go.The Challenge of AccumulationWe also discussed the common challenges faced by homeowners and renters when trying to organize their homes, such as the tendency to keep things "just in case." Lucy emphasized the importance of asking detailed questions about the necessity and likelihood of needing certain items. She also mentioned that having more storage space doesn't necessarily solve the problem, as it's about the stuff we accumulate.The Benefits of Professional OrganizingLucy explained the benefits of hiring a professional organizer to help with decluttering and organizing. She explained that the process of sorting through your belongings can provide valuable insights, such as identifying patterns in purchasing and realizing the need to invest in higher quality items.The Financial Benefits of OrganizingWe also discussed the financial benefits of organizing and decluttering. Lucy mentioned that organized people tend to shop less and spend less money overall because they are not constantly buying unnecessary items or duplicates. I added that even wealthy individuals are always looking for a good deal, but emphasized the value of investing in quality items rather than constantly buying cheaper versions.Creating Luxurious SpacesLucy advised that having fewer objects can create a more luxurious and expensive look. She suggested removing unnecessary items and carefully selecting a few meaningful and beautiful pieces. I shared my personal experience of downsizing and starting from scratch, which taught me the value of being selective with furniture and avoiding clutter.Preparing a Home for SaleLucy shared valuable tips on decluttering and organizing a home for selling or moving. She emphasized the importance of hiding items in existing parts of the house, such as cabinets, shelves, and drawers, to create a visually clean and appealing space.The Emotional Aspect of Selling a HomeWe touched on the emotional aspect of selling a home and the need to declutter and let go of unused items. Lucy advised against waiting until the last minute to declutter, as it can lead to stress and a rushed process.Downsizing with ChildrenWhen it comes to downsizing with children, Lucy suggested modeling and teaching them the importance of decluttering. By involving children in the process and making it a normal part of life, they can develop the skills to declutter their own belongings.Final ThoughtsI expressed my gratitude to Lucy for sharing valuable tips on organizing. The first tip is to take time and not rush into buying things. It's important to go at one's own pace and focus on one area at a time.Lucy also mentioned the importance of not filling every corner with things, especially when it's time to sell or move. Instead, she suggests having a nice piece of art or colorful pillows to add pops of color to a neutral palette.Before wrapping up, I asked Lucy for any advice on how to work, live, and own it in everyday life. Lucy encourages overcoming imposter syndrome and pushing through fear to take action. I couldn't agree more and shared my own experience of feeling nervous but still showing up and doing it anyway.Lucy's insights were invaluable, and I highly recommend checking out her e-book "The Edits Method" available on her website and Amazon. She also offers free resources, webinars, and guides for organizing popular spaces like closets, kitchens, home offices, and kids' rooms. Lucy works both in-person and virtually, providing options for different needs and budgets.

As a podcast host, I've had the privilege of engaging in enlightening conversations with experts from various fields. In a recent episode, I had the pleasure of hosting Varney Jallah, the founder of Structured Credit Solutions and the author of "The Not So Secret Guide to Boost Your Credit Score." Our discussion revolved around credit repair, down payment assistance, and the home buying process. <div class="se-component se-video-container __se__float-center" style="width: 100%; min-width: 100%"><figure style="width: 100%; height: 56.25%; padding-bottom: 56.25%;"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/pV5OUjwdFnw" data-proportion="true" data-align="center" data-percentage="100%,56.25%" data-size="100%,56.25%" data-file-name="pV5OUjwdFnw" data-file-size="0" data-origin="100%,56.25%" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;"></iframe></figure></div>The Importance of Credit ScoresVarney emphasized the significance of credit scores in various aspects of life, such as job applications, mortgage approvals, and business financing. She shared a quick presentation on how to boost credit scores and gain control over 550 points.Breaking Down Credit ScoresVarney broke down the different factors that contribute to credit scores and the number of points associated with each category.Payment HistoryPayment history, which accounts for 35% of the score and offers 192.5 points, was the first topic of discussion. Varney advised listeners to write down all their bills and set up auto payments to avoid late payments, which can significantly impact credit scores.UtilizationNext, he discussed utilization, which makes up 30% of the score and offers 165 points. Varney recommends keeping credit card utilization under 10% and explains how to determine the reporting date and due date for credit card balances.Credit AgeCredit age, accounting for 15% of the score with 82 points, was discussed briefly as a factor that naturally increases over time.Revolving CreditVarney explained the importance of having revolving credit on your credit report. He mentioned that revolving credit makes up 65% of your credit score, so not having any can significantly impact your scores. He advised against relying solely on debit card usage or bill payments to build credit and recommends adding a revolving credit account to your credit report.Building Credit with a Secured Credit CardTo build credit, Varney suggests applying for a secured credit card at a local bank. With a deposit of $200, you can get a credit card with a limit of $200. He advises using the card wisely by setting up a small subscription payment, like Netflix or Spotify, and setting up an auto payment to pay it off in full every month. By following this strategy, she has seen clients' scores increase by 60 to 90 points or even more.Educating the Young on CreditDuring our conversation, I raised concerns about people, especially college students, not wanting to take on debt or making mistakes with credit cards. Varney emphasized the importance of education and parents' role in educating their children about credit. He advises college students to get one credit card and use it responsibly, making small payments and avoiding maxing it out.The Limitations of Credit KarmaVarney discussed the limitations of using Credit Karma as a credit tracking tool. While many people find it helpful, Vani is not a big fan of it. He pointed out that Credit Karma only provides two scores: one from TransUnion and one from Equifax. This means that if you're trying to repair your credit, you're not getting a complete picture by relying solely on Credit Karma.The Importance of FICO ScoresVarney highlighted the importance of considering the third score that Credit Karma doesn't provide. Many people make the mistake of solely relying on their Credit Karma score, thinking they're ready to apply for a mortgage based on that number. However, Credit Karma provides what is known as "vintage scores," while most banks use FICO scores.To get a more accurate understanding of your creditworthiness, Vani recommends going to myfico.com and pulling up your FICO scores. Specifically, he suggests checking your FICO 5, FICO 4, and FICO 2 scores. These are the three scores that mortgage lenders typically use. For example, if your FICO 5 is 680, your FICO 4 is 650, and your FICO 2 is 620, your lender will use the middle score, 650, to determine your creditworthiness.Understanding and managing your credit score is crucial in today's world. With the insights shared by Varney Jallah, you can take control of your credit score and improve your financial health.

Bold Statement: Relying solely on your Credit Karma score to gauge your creditworthiness can be misleading. Want to know why? Tune in to our thought-provoking podcast episode!

Understanding Credit Scores

Understanding Credit Scores with Varney Jallah

As the host of the "Work It Live It Own It" podcast and a dedicated North Carolina realtor, I've had the privilege of guiding countless individuals through the exciting yet intricate journey of purchasing a home. In a recent episode, I sat down with Connie Ward, a seasoned realtor with Incredible Realty Group in the Charlotte, North Carolina metro real estate market, to delve into the critical aspects of home buying and the common pitfalls that potential homeowners should avoid. <div class="se-component se-video-container __se__float-center" style="width: 100%; min-width: 100%"><figure style="width: 100%; height: 56.25%; padding-bottom: 56.25%;"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_xIk12pt6bI?si=h3TVby6-TmVzPjcR" data-proportion="true" data-align="center" data-percentage="100%,56.25%" data-size="100%,56.25%" data-file-name="_xIk12pt6bI?si=h3TVby6-TmVzPjcR" data-file-size="0" data-origin="100%,56.25%" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;"></iframe></figure></div>The Foundation of Financial StabilityOur conversation began with a focus on the bedrock of any successful home purchase: financial stability. Connie and I discussed the significance of being prepared before you even consider purchasing a home. It's not just about having enough for a down payment; it's about ensuring that your entire financial house is in order. This means responsible decision-making and a thorough understanding of what it takes to maintain a solid financial standing throughout the home buying process.The Ten Commandments of Home Loan ApplicationsOne of the highlights of our discussion was the "ten commandments" of what not to do when applying for a home loan. These are the cardinal rules that, if broken, could severely impact your financial standing and jeopardize your loan approval. We covered a range of topics, from the dangers of co-signing loans to the repercussions of making large, unexplained deposits into your bank accounts.We also touched on the risks associated with inquiring into your credit too often, the temptation to splurge on new furniture before closing, and the absolute necessity of being transparent about all debts and liabilities on your loan application. The message was clear: transparency and effective communication with your loan officer are paramount.Real-Life Consequences and Practical AdviceThroughout our conversation, we provided practical advice peppered with real-life examples to drive home the potential consequences of financial missteps. For instance, we discussed how excessive credit card usage or falling behind on payments could derail your home buying plans. We also shared a cautionary tale of a client who, caught up in the excitement of buying a new home, decided to purchase a car, only to face challenges in closing the deal due to the additional debt incurred.Managing Credit and Career MovesThe importance of managing credit card usage cannot be overstated. As Connie explained, maxing out a credit card or taking on new loans can lead to a significant drop in your credit score, which is a critical factor in mortgage qualification. We stressed the need to maintain consistent credit usage and to avoid any actions that could lead to late payments or new collections.We also advised against making major life changes, such as quitting your job or becoming self-employed, during the home buying process. Such decisions can have a profound impact on income verification and could complicate your mortgage application.Open Communication and Professional GuidanceOne of the recurring themes of our discussion was the need for open communication with loan officers and real estate professionals. It's essential to ensure that your financial decisions are in line with your goal of purchasing a home. Being well-informed and making strategic decisions are key to maintaining financial stability and increasing the likelihood of a successful home purchase.Empowering Buyers with ResourcesTo conclude our enlightening discussion, we offered listeners a valuable PDF resource outlining the "ten commandments" of what not to do during the home buying process. Additionally, we provided a magazine detailing what to expect during the home buying journey. These resources are designed to educate and empower buyers, helping them make informed decisions every step of the way.Final ThoughtsThe home buying process is complex, but with the right knowledge and guidance, it can be navigated successfully. By understanding the importance of financial stability, avoiding detrimental actions, and seeking professional advice, you can increase your chances of securing the home of your dreams. Remember, it's not just about buying a house—it's about owning your future.If you're on the path to homeownership and looking for insights and guidance, I encourage you to reach out for the resources mentioned and to listen to our podcast episode for a deeper dive into the world of real estate and home buying.
