#CafecitoTalks |💡 “Sometimes taking a step back is the smartest move forward.” In this powerful clip from yesterday’s podcast, Alex shares the real story behind his journey. He wanted to go all in as a realtor—but with only $1,000 to his name and bills piling up, he made the hardest decision… He pressed pause on full-time real estate and went to work with his dad in the countertop business—because providing for his family came first. But it wasn’t giving up. It was setting the foundation to come back stronger. 🎙️ Watch the full episode to hear how that one step back led to massive growth. Sometimes your next chapter starts with a humbling move. Follow @yourfavoritelender_for the best homebuying tips & tricks.

💡 Did you know you can buy a home with as little as 3% down?
Whether it’s an FHA loan with 3.5% down on any property type…
Or a conventional loan with 3% down on single-family homes, condos, or townhomes…
🤯 The options are out there—you just need the right strategy. But here’s the catch:
If you're eyeing multi-units with conventional financing, you’ll need at least 5% down.
📉 One loan doesn't fit all. That’s why sitting down with the right team makes all the difference. 🎯 Your dream home is closer than you think… when you play it smart.
