Living the American Dream
To some, if not most, part of living the American Dream entails owning a home!
SPANISH: Para algunos, si no todos, parte de viviendo el Sueno Americano incluye ser dueño de una casa!
For those of you that know me, I work the area of North East Los
Angeles; I have refinanced and financed various purchase transactions
for my fellow neighbor.
SPANISH: Para los que me conocen, yo trabajo el área de North East Los Angeles;
he refinanciado y e dado varios prestamos para compra de casa ha mi ser
humano.
Recently I asked a neighbor in Cypress Park...
SPANISH: Recientemente, le pregunte a un vecino en Cypress Park...
What does it feel like to own a home?
SPANISH: Que se siente ser dueño de una casa?
How should I tell you? It feels beautiful...it feels prideful. A lot of
people work very hard to barely afford to make a rent payment and
that's a troublesome thing. To know that I work hard so that I can own
my own home...that's something to have pride over!!!
I've accomplished something very big and today my property is worth half a million dollars.
SPANISH: Pues como te diré? Se siente bonito...se siente orgullo. Mucha gente
trabaja muy duro y apenas tienen para pagar la renta, y eso es triste.
Saber que yo trabajo duro y para ser yo...dueña de mi propia casa. Eso
es orgullo!!!
He cumplido una cosa muy grande y hoy mi propiedad vale medio millón de dolares.
What words of advice do you have for someone thinking of owning a home?
SPANISH: Que palabras de consejo le tienes al alguien pensando en comprando casa?
To educate themselves as much as possible. At the time I bought my
house I didn't have all of this Internet stuff. I had to confide in
someone to help me. But today I know that a lot of information you can
find online for free. I mean it's not wrong to confide in someone and
shake their hand...but today, you have to start little by little. And
the information concerning all of the process is right there.
Just remember, don't be afraid to ask questions!
Welcome to the pridefullness of home ownership!
SPANISH: Que guarden su dinero y que se educan lo mejor posible. En el tiempo que yo compre me casa no
tuvimos todo esto del Internet. Yo me confié en alguien y ellos me
ayudaron. Pero hoy también se que mucha información se pueda conseguir
gratis en el Internet. Osea no es mal confiar en alguien y chocarles la
mano...pero hay que empesar poco a poco. Y allí esta la información
sobre todo lo que tienen que saber.
Y aquerdense, no tengan miedo de hacer preguntas!
Bienvenidos al orgullo de ser dueño de casa!
