WHAT ARE REELS & HOW CAN A REALTOR USE THEM?
Reels is a feature on Instagram that allows you to create short-form video content that can be shared with your followers and discovered by the wider Instagram community. Here are some steps to help you get started on creating Reels: Open the Instagram app and navigate to the Reels feature. You can do this by swiping right from the Instagram home screen and selecting the Reels option. Once you’re in the Reels feature, you’ll see a camera viewfinder that you can use to create your video. You can record a video in one take or split it up into multiple clips. Before recording your Reel, you can customize it by adding music, filters, effects, and text. You can also adjust the speed of your video or use the timer feature to record hands-free. After recording your Reel, you can edit it by adding additional effects and trimming the length of the video. Once you’re happy with your Reel, you can add a caption and hashtags to help it reach a wider audience. You can also choose to share it to your profile or to the Reels Explore page, where it can be discovered by other Instagram users. Finally, you can track the performance of your Reel by checking the number of views, likes, comments, and shares it receives. Creating Reels can be a fun and engaging way to showcase your creativity and connect with your audience on Instagram. With a little practice and experimentation, you can create compelling Reels that resonate with your followers and help you grow your presence on the platform. As a realtor, there are many ways you can use Instagram Reels to showcase your properties and promote your real estate business. Here are a few ideas: Property Tours: Use Reels to create short video tours of your properties, highlighting their key features and amenities. You can add captions and music to make the video more engaging and shareable. Before-and-After Transformations: Show off the transformation of a property by creating a Reel that features before-and-after shots of a renovation project. This can be a great way to showcase your design and renovation skills, and attract potential clients who are interested in buying or selling properties that need some work. Tips and Tricks: Use Reels to share tips and advice with your audience, such as how to stage a property, how to get the best deal on a home, or how to navigate the home buying process. By offering valuable insights and information, you can establish yourself as a trusted resource for your followers and potential clients. Meet the Team: Use Reels to introduce your team to your followers, showcasing their expertise and experience in the real estate industry. This can help build trust and establish a personal connection with your audience. Local Area Highlights: Use Reels to showcase the local area surrounding your properties, such as nearby parks, restaurants, and other attractions. This can help potential clients get a better sense of the lifestyle and amenities that come with living in the area. By using Reels in creative and engaging ways, you can build your brand and establish a strong presence on Instagram, helping you connect with potential clients and grow your real estate business.
5 Ways Millennials Can Save Money For A Home
Saving money for a home can be a challenging but rewarding process, especially for millennials who are just starting their careers and building their financial foundations. Here are five tips to help you save for your dream home. Create a budget: The first step to saving money is to understand how much you are spending. Create a budget that tracks your income and expenses, so you can see where your money is going. This will help you identify areas where you can cut back on spending and redirect that money towards your home savings. Reduce debt: High levels of debt can make it difficult to save money. Focus on paying off high-interest debt such as credit card balances and student loans. This will not only reduce your monthly expenses but also help you establish a good credit score, which will make it easier to get a mortgage in the future. Save regularly: Establish a savings plan and stick to it. Automating your savings by setting up a direct deposit from your paycheck into a dedicated savings account can help you save consistently. The key is to make saving a priority and a non-negotiable part of your budget. Take advantage of employer benefits: Many employers offer benefits such as 401(k) matching or other savings plans that can help you save for your home. Take advantage of these opportunities to grow your savings faster. Shop for the best mortgage rates: When you are ready to buy a home, shop around for the best mortgage rates. This can save you thousands of dollars in interest over the life of the loan. It’s also important to have a good credit score and a solid financial history, as these factors can impact the mortgage rate you receive. By following these tips, you can start saving for your dream home and work towards becoming a homeowner. Remember, home ownership takes time and effort, but the reward of having a place to call your own is worth it.
The Payoff Explained
One way to pay for the purchase of a home is to get a loan from a financial institution. At closing, many documents are signed. Two of the most significant are the Promissory Note and Mortgage/Deed of Trust. The Promissory Note is essentially a promise to pay back the money borrowed according to the terms and conditions specified. Most Promissory Notes are secured by a Mortgage/Deed of Trust. A Deed of Trust/Mortgage is recorded in the Land Records as a lien against the property until the Promissory Note is paid in full, at which time, the bank will record a document to “release” the lien. There are three common ways people pay off a Promissory Note. The first is they simply satisfy it with their own money. The second is they refinance the loan. The third is they sell the property and pay it off with the proceeds from the sale. If you are refinancing or selling, a title company is usually involved. A title company will require a payoff statement for any Deed of Trust/Mortgages found on title. A payoff statement is a detailed breakdown of what is owed to satisfy the terms of your loan. One question people ask a lot is why the payoff amount is higher than the principal balance on their mortgage statement. The answer is simple. Mortgages are paid in arrears. When you make your payment on the 1 st of the month, it covers for principal and interest amount owed for the previous month, if you are current on your loan payments. So, if you sell your home on the 10 th of October and have not made your October payment, you will pay 40 days of interest on top of the principal balance. Additionally, title companies usually pad payoffs by a few days to allow time to process the paperwork after closing and to send the payoff to the bank. There may also be a couple of small fees to the bank such as a “Payoff Processing Fee.” After the bank receives your payoff, they will send you a few items. The first is a check for any overage that was received from the title company and any funds from your escrow account. The second is your original Promissory Note stamped “PAID.”
Change
Merriam-Webster defines change as 1) to give a different position, course, or direction to AND 2) to undergo transformation, transition, or substitution. We all go through change. Some more than others. Some by choice. Some not by choice. When I think of change, I think of a metamorphosis. Over the past year, I have had two major changes in my life. Both were painful, but necessary. And now that I am on the other side, I can see that they were just what I needed. The first definition I referenced above is about changing directions. I love this because it reminds me that I am in charge of the direction my life takes, most of the time. Now whether I have the courage to actually take a different direction is another story. Sometimes we know we should do something different. But, many times we don’t. Maybe we are scared. Maybe we aren’t willing to take a risk before knowing what is on the other side. The problem is, it’s almost impossible to know what is on the other side. Then what? We stay where we are or we take a leap of faith. Both are hard. The first is what we know. It’s not where we should be but it’s what we know. Taking a leap of faith requires faith in the unknown. Being uncomfortable. Maybe even failure. Either way, you’re in charge, most of the time. I chose change. Both times. And, it was hard. Fear, nerves, tears, doubt, loneliness. Over and over and over. But, I found a little bit of faith and a little bit of strength. And it got easier. I found myself being less and less worried and stronger and stronger every day. I stayed in gratitude. That was key. Even if it wasn’t the type of gratitude we are used to. I was grateful for the journey. I needed to sit in it all and heal. The second definition I referenced above is about transformations. I have transformed. In so many ways. I am an overcomer. I will not be silenced or unappreciated. I will not be talked down to or made to feel like my feelings don’t matter. My transformation taught me I have a voice and a right to use it. I know myself better than I ever have. I can have hard conversations (this is a BIG one). I know I will always be okay no matter what. I am not sure I knew these things before. Not even a little. If you feel stuck in anything or anywhere, I encourage you to make a change. No matter how little or how big. You are capable. And, on the other side, is freedom. And fulfillment. And joy. I wanted that for myself and I want that for you.
What Stops Us from Achieving Goals?
What Stops Us from Achieving Goals? By: Kara Macdonald January 1, 2021 Happy New Year! A clean slate, fresh start, new goals. Goals that we WILL achieve this time, NO MATTER WHAT. You start strong. You may have even written down your goals. Maybe broken them down my months? Weeks? DAYS? You’ve got this! January 1st: Exercise-check, Healthy Eating-check. Day 2 . . . still going strong. Maybe just one cookie. Maybe it’s better not to exercise EVERY day. Excuses wiggle in and before you know it, “maybe next year.” I have two theories as to why we don’t keep on keepin’ on. The first is excuses. It’s not easy to continue good habits. We have been doing the same things for a very long time. Giving up seems easier than continuing. My theory is you need to figure out the one thing that comes into your mind every time you’re about to quit and change your perspective. My excuse is “It doesn’t matter.” Those are dangerous words for me. I lost sixty pounds in 2019 and gained back thirty this year. It sucks. My clothes don’t fit. I don’t feel good, in general. I kept telling myself it doesn’t matter if I have seconds or thirds, it doesn’t matter if I literally never eat vegetables or drink water, it doesn’t matter if I have a sandwich at 9:00 when I had a perfectly normal, satisfying dinner three hours before. It’s a problem, y’all. But I keep telling myself, “I did it once and I can do it again.” And I will. Because it does matter. I matter. I have learned a lot this year about loving myself. I deserve to be healthy. I am capable of getting healthy. And I will feel so HAPPY when I get to my goal weight. So, I am combatting “It doesn’t matter” with “It does matter. And it is possible.” The second thing is we try to do too much all at once. This is why New Year’s resolutions don’t work. This is a marathon, not a race. Pick ONE THING to work on for one period. Maybe you decide to not eat after 6:00 for one month. Maybe you decide to walk one mile four times per week for one quarter. Maybe you decide to only eat out once per week for the year. Smaller goals done one at a time over time are so much easier to achieve and sustain. We don’t like this though. We want results FAST. But, think about that. We set many, lofty goals that we expect to achieve in a short amount of time. We don’t reach any of them and feel like a failure. Or, we set a few, attainable goals that are not overwhelming, achieve them and feel amazing. It’s not rocket science. Once you accept the fact that nothing is ever going to happen as quickly as we want it to, you can set a goal, decide that you’ll stay on track, and stick to it. And, if you fall off the wagon a couple times, brush yourself off and get back on. I wish you a healthy, successful, and happy new year!

I’m your host Kara Macdonald and I’m here with our guest Tanya Salseth. Tanya is a very successful real estate investor and real estate agent with Keller Williams in Falls Church, Virginia. Spotting a great investment: Tanya started out with one rental property and she has very cleverly snowballed that into a 12-door portfolio, using cash flow as her number one decision-making factor. You have to make sure you can rent the property at a rate that will allow you to pay the mortgage, cover maintenance expenses and put some money in your pocket. After cash flow, the next most important consideration is the market. Is the economy growing? Are people moving here for jobs? Is there a diversity of jobs? Now, if you’re in an area like Northern Virginia, where right now the inventory is low, you can look out-of-state. Network and find an agent who knows that market and, as a bonus, who is also a property investor. Agents help people buy and sell day-in and day-out, but doing it for yourself is what truly helps you develop an eye for a good investment. Of course, there is more potential for profit if the property you’re buying needs some work, just make sure the value is there in your market. A property being a good value and a good investment are two different things. To learn more about real-estate investment you can reach out to Tanya via phone or e-mail: Tanya Salseth Keller Williams Realty (202) 823-9864 tanyasalseth@kw.com Thanks for listening!
