I learned the hard way. You don't have to.
When I came to America, I paid cash for everything. I refused every credit card. Then I tried to buy a house, and America said no.
My first agent pushed a house I couldn't afford. My second told me not to ask for the appliances, and promised to buy them herself after closing. She never did. I picked up the phone, asked the other side myself, and kept thousands of dollars of appliances in that house.
Almost 20 years and more than five states later, I've bought, fixed, rented and sold homes from Maryland to Detroit to Georgia. Now I want to hand you the key I wish someone had handed me.
