  1. Where did you get the picture of the thumbnail from with Rochelle and her family?

  2. It sounds like this brother's journey was meant to be. Everything fell in line for him. Sometimes your look back on life and see how God lines everything up for your greatness.

  3. This was an excellent interview! Thank you, Shaheedah and Devin!
    A few highlights I picked up from the conversation:
    15:54 Yes,Yes,Yes Data,Data,Data
    26:46 Devin knows his pools! Haha
    37:47 Shaheedah said what so many people don't know. Thank you! The bank owns the appraisal, but you pay for it.
    45:20 Yes! The proof is in the data. Very well said!
    53:37 Yes! Excellent point by Devin on hiring a review appraiser. Have another set of trained eyes look at your appraisal. This is a great option!
    Mr. Minnis did a great job representing the appraisal profession! Nicely done!

  4. Hi Shaheedah, how do I go about finding a good realestate agent that happens to be black? I just had a bad experience with a racist realtor.She kept trying to figure out my race and my race has nothing to do with my ability to purchase a home.She litterly started naming different racial group to guess my racial background.She made me uncomfortable and I just don't want to be bothered with that so I will work with some from my own community so I more than likely won't have deal with the foolishness.My income is good my fico is just a few point from700 and my DTI is 15 per.I have savings.I just want the right home and I need someone supportive and patient.

  5. Fellas this can be a byproduct of choosing the correct wife! Take note. Thanks Shaheedah for bringing him on. I rock with you, him and MG Boss!

  6. It's a very good idea if people get to setup some stuffs aside for themselves that could be bringing them money apart from there businesses.

  7. Hey Shaheeda. When will you have guests talk about Power of Attorneys if you have property and how it works.

  8. What happens if a new home still under construction is appraised by an appraiser for the bank?

  9. Does an appraised value have to do with the market value if your home value has increased since you bought your home.

  10. How can someone appraised a home still under construction and walls are not up yet and work is still being done inside.

  11. People were going with Investors and getting top dollar for their homes so they wouldn't have to drop anything in price. Investors will pay up, so they say.

  12. There needs to be an association for black appraisers because we really do need access to unbiased data focused black appraisers!!

  13. Man you're telling me that the classic Wolverine in that house wouldn't cost the extra $5,000? 😂

  14. Amazing video,
    My favorite part when i learned about
    “Tankless Water Heater!!
    I’m looking to get one when I bought my 1st 🏡 in 18Months!
    Great info/Keep up the Great Work!!

  15. Hi Shaheedah, I wanted to thank you for what you do. I am a first time home buyer that started the process a year ago and is closing on my home tomorrow. Your videos have been so valuable and helpful because I knew nothing about home buying at the beginning. After each step in the process I check your videos for more tips on the upcoming steps. Please keep doing this great work.
