Episode # 233 BIG Changes to Conforming Loan Limits in 2021! Mar 10, 2021

Show notes

Great news for home buyers in DC!

There are some big changes coming to Conforming Loan limits in 2021.

Buyers and borrowers: If you didn’t qualify in 2020, this is a great time to talk to a lender and run the numbers again. You might be back in the game!

In this episode, In-house USA Mortgage lender Dustin Brown joins host Dan Lesniak for our first podcast in the HyperFast Mortgage series.

In 2021, Conforming Loan Limits are rising from $765k to $822,375. If a mortgage falls under that ~$822k threshold, it can be underwritten by Fannie Mae – that means a home buyer can get the best terms and the best rate, which will positively impact their debt-to-income ratio and possibly allow them to push up their price point a little.

For example: In DC you could buy a million-dollar home, put 20% down, and still get your mortgage under the $822k threshold! That means you can get the best terms and the best rate.

If you’re looking to buy a home, or you’re a buyer’s agent looking for a lender who can get the job done, go to hyperfastmortgage.com to learn more about what we’re doing with USA Mortgage and the HyperFast team!

Episode #231 Self Storage Investing Deep Dive with Stacy Rossetti Mar 03, 2021

Show notes

In this can’t-miss episode of the HyperFast Podcast, self-proclaimed “Self Storage Nerd” Stacy Rosetti gives us a fascinating look inside a profitable, specialized niche of real estate investing: Buying mismanaged self storage facilities, then setting them up to earn truly passive income.

Today, Stacy and her husband have delegated every part of their 900-door storage portfolio so that they’re free to coach, travel, and enjoy time with their family.

Stacy started off flipping houses, and had success with that – at one point she was doing 15 rehabs at a time. That brought in a lot of money, but also a lot of work and stress. Then Stacy got into buying mismanaged self storage properties and setting them up to run profitably.

That first storage property led to another, and another… and those properties now allow Stacy to live a truly amazing life.

Join us as Stacy Rossetti and host Dan Lesniak discuss:

How Stacy has set up her self storage facilities to run WITHOUT needing an onsite manager
How Stacy bought a storage facility for $275k and more than doubled its value to $600k within ~1 year
Why the best self storage deals are NOT available on the MLS
How Stacy uses publicly available satellite imagery to find hidden gem deals
The process Stacy’s team uses to pinpoint search areas, then drive around literally looking for deals

Make sure you listen all the way to the end – you won’t want to miss Stacy’s story about the 90-year-old owner who set up his storage facility to provide a legacy of passive income to his family.
