💰How Saving to Invest in real estate 🏡📈

🧭 Step 1: Set Your Real Estate Goal

🏠 Buy a home

📑 Closing costs: 2–5%
🛠️ Renovation & repairs
🛑 Emergency fund (because... stuff happens) 😬

Example:
🏷️ Property = $300,000
👉 20% down = $60,000
🧾 Closing = $10,000
🎯 Goal = $70,000+

💡 That’s about $1,944/month
🔁 Automate savings to a high-yield account 💰💨

✂️ Step 4: Cut Back to Stack Up

🍕 Less takeout
📺 Cancel unused subscriptions
🚗 Drive a used car
🏠 Get a roommate (temporarily 😅)
