It is not always easy, but it is always worth it! with Natalie Mitchell and today’s guest Giselle Jones centers around one of Natalie’s tenants and her own real estate journey. Tune in to hear Giselle’s incredible story as a first-time home buyer at the age of 50.
After renting an apartment under Natalie for the past seven years, the floor above Giselle’s unit flooded, causing her to camp out in her living room with all her belongings for too long of a while. This led to conversations about home ownership between them, and from there the rest is history. Giselle had a goal, made up her mind, and was going to do it.
As a single first-time home purchaser, Giselle was required to come up with a 20% down payment, a large amount of income. And she had three days to do it. After finding her perfect place, she called and emailed everyone she could to help her out and managed to find all the money within the tight turnaround.
“My confidence financially was really low (before becoming a homeowner), I always thought I had to do this with someone, with someone else’s help. Now, I feel fully empowered, I feel like “Giselle” with only one name. Like Sher. It’s very empowering.”
If you are a tenant who is thinking about buying your first place, whether it be a condo or single-family home, there is no better time than right now to get your prequalification done to see what your options even are. And remember – there’s power in numbers. Women learn and gain their strength in power through conversations. Having conversations with people that form your tribe is empowering. Giselle and Natalie are here to encourage you to take the same leap of faith Giselle has.
“A lot of times people think it’s too late. And I always say it’s never too late – the best time to get into real estate is right now.”
