Soon after starting our home acquisition project it became clear that the battles against negativity would be intense. Low credit scores, rising property costs, limited property selection, disinterested and apathetic real estate professionals, as well as being self-employed, presented some huge obstacles. The only way I got through this process of becoming a first time home buyer in San Diego personally is keeping the end game in mind. Know your end game guys. Know your end game like a mantra. I’m tired of throwing my rent money away to make someone else rich. I am putting the money in my own pocket from now on. I’m going to invest in my own future, the future of my children, future whatever. I can absolutely achieve my goal of becoming a first time home buyer in San Diego despite the vicious San Diego real estate market.
First time home buyers have to know their end game, make it your mantra, and tell it to yourself every day.
“I will purchase a beautiful affordable home in San Diego using the First Time home buyer downpayment assistance program.” One of the keys to positive thinking is to say something to yourself so many times that is re-wires the synapses in the brain to a different way of thinking. With so many strikes against you as a renter; especially the mentality that home ownership is unacheivable; you have to re-train your brain to break free of these chains. Here is a great example of a site I use to train my positive thinking. Believe me guys, to get what you want, you need every motivation you can summon up to get through this process. All of this mental work will pay off as you see the equity rise in your home that you enjoy each and every day.
