INTRODUCING David Duncan, Jason Dupree and Tim Ritchey from Roof Shield
David, Jason and Tim have about 2 minutes all together to briefly introduce themselves and talk about some of the services Roof Shield offers their clients—you can add more content later in the show )
(Jo) Have you ever read the book “The Richest Man in Babylon” by George Clason? The parables are told by a fictional Babylonian character called Arkad, a poor scribe who became the “richest man in Babylon”. Arkad talks about the “Seven Cures” (or how to generate money and wealth), and the “Five Laws of Gold” (or how to protect and invest wealth). We take home four main lessons from Arkad’s advice. The first one is to “pay yourself first.” The second lesson is to “live within your means” The third lesson is to “invest in what you know.” The fourth lesson hammers home the importance of “long-term saving”, and “home ownership”.
In the book Arkad saved his money and made his money work for him. As a mortgage loan officer for over 30 years, I have seen customers who went from rags to riches over a period of time practicing these principles of wealth.
If you are thinking, “But I have too many things I want to do and enjoy life. There’s no way there will be any money left over to save.” Let me share a story of a client who found a way to enjoy life, save money and make her wealth work for her.
-
Let me introduce you to Amelia Allison (not her real name.) Amelia’s story inspired me. Amelia left her parent’s home right after high school and launched into an adventurous life traveling around the country. Amelia planned ahead. She got financial aid for college. She wanted to see the world, so she signed up for school in a faraway area of the country, supporting herself by working part time job and sharing a home with fellow students at the college where she attended.
-
Amelia was frugal and focused. After graduating college she already knew she wanted to buy a home. But adventure still called her name. In order to travel and dive into life head first, she needed to figure out a way to get a second income without having to work a second job.
-
Amelia’s answer was to purchase a four-plex—a home with four living units. Her plan was to live in one unit and let the rent coming in from the other three units more than pay her house note. As rents would be going up over time, her 30 year fixed rate mortgage would remain stable and low, creating more and more positive cash flow to fuel her excitement-seeking habits.
-
Here is how it worked for Amelia: She had a knowledgeable realtor who knew the home market and the right professionals—the lender (me) and a good home inspector, title company, insurance professional and trustworthy handyman. I got her approved for a government, low fixed interest rate, low down payment loan program. With a little help from the seller on the closing costs, Amelia and I went treasure hunting for down payment funds to get her into the property without disturbing her emergency fund. I have to admit, hearing Amelia talk about her plans made me yearn to step back in time for just a little while- to be in my 20’s again. Ameila had her whole exciting life ahead of her and she knew what she wanted and how she was going to get there.

TOPICS COVERED BY JO GARNER, /
MORTGAGE LOAN ORIGINATOR
(Jo) Somebody told me one time that the best way to always have money is to spend less money than you make and save the difference.
Have you ever thought about setting up your pay to automatically invest 10% of your gross income into a 401k or other retirement fund? You will be amazed over time if you invest 10% of your income, give to charity or your church 10% of your income and live on the remaining 80%.
Somebody else told me the best way to save money is to reduce debts. I remember a mortgage customer of mine was working on reducing his debt and increasing his cash flow so he could qualify to buy his own house. One thing he did was call the credit card companies where he did business. He reminded them that he was a long-standing, good-paying customer. Then he asked them to reduce the interest they were charging him on his credit cards. He got some of his credit card interest reduced several points! Since he was gradually paying the balances down and still carried a balance, the reduction in interest on the credit cards saved Sammy Saver a surprising amount of money.
SAMMY SAVER
Get rid of the lender’s private mortgage insurance you are paying to the mortgage company. If you have a conventional mortgage on your home and you started out owing over 80% of the value on the home, you are probably paying the lender’s private mortgage insurance. Mortgage insurance benefits the lender and not you. Private mortgage insurance is good in the beginning because it allows the buyer to buy the home with very little down payment. But later as the buyer pays down the balance on the mortgage and the property starts going up in value, its time to get rid of the PMI. If what you owe on the home is 78% loan-to-value or less, its time to contact the mortgage company and ask what you need to do to remove the monthly private mortgage insurance.
Another way to save money by getting rid of debt is to start prepaying the principle on your mortgage.
Did you know that on a 30-year fixed rate mortgage, if you prepay one extra principle and interest payment per year, you can eliminate about seven years off your mortgage?
Imagine you just found the house that you have always wanted. When you go to the closing to buy it the mortgage officer gives you an amortization schedule that shows a break down of all of the 360 payments. Let’s say you borrowed $250,000 on a 30-year fixed rate.
The principal and interest is $1,499 per month. If you pay one extra payment of $1499 per year starting at the beginning of the loan you could eliminate approximately $1499 x 7 years (84 months) =$125,900 over 276 months.
Another way to make extra money is to buy real estate rental property. If you allow me to get you a fixed rate mortgage to help you with purchase. Every few years when you go up on the rent to your tenants, you give yourself a raise. Not only that, but the TENANTS’ rents are paying the mortgage for you.
Residential real estate has appreciated in value over 860% from 1967 to 2022. It is a good way to let that asset make YOU money as it appreciates while you sleep.
Let’s talk about some ways you can accomplish some of your life dreams using just the right mortgage.
