This page contains all of our accumulated Tenant to Homeowner Resources.
If the average wealth of a Tenant fit inside a roll-on suitcase…
….you’d probably expect a HomeOwner to have TWO suitcases worth (for this example you can pretend the suitcase is loosely stuffed with $1 bills).
But the HomeOwner doesn’t have two.
Instead, carrying a suitcase in each hand a HomeOwner would need to make 10 separate trips to the car.
After taking a hydration break , they would need to do the entire moving exercise all over again.
If the HomeOwner stopped then (after the 20th trip with two bag’s apiece) they’d still be leaving the combined wealth of 3 individual Tenants on the sidewalk.
Ditching your apartment lease in exchange for a Deed on your future house is a topic we’ve assisted with extensively over the past 25 years.
No company on this planet has more experience on this topic than GoldCoast. Full Stop.
Any and all of our resources for tenants in Massachusetts and New Hampshire are provided for you free on this page.
We also provide a Holy Grail “First Step” for your consideration on the home ownership journey (see below). Hint: It’s not a pre-approval or mortgage calculator.
For your exclusive benefit, we have assembled all the secrets, all the misconceptions, the lies you’ve been told, and the lies by omission your landlord doesn’t want you to discover.
Our research includes client interviews – both those that bought a house and those that failed retreating to their parents’ basement in chagrin. We have learned from those failures.
Admittedly the content could be overwhelming.
The Tenants Lounge page aims to simmer those writings down so you can consume the content you seek based on your cadence and appetite for risk; children of engineers and accounts pace differently than those whose parents earned income based on sales commission or were entrepreneurs.
Our Declarations and Promises:
We know that not every future homeowner is wired the same.
We won’t email or call you (unless you ask us to).
No Call-to-Action’s from GoldCoast.
You don’t need to sign up, subscribe or join to get our intel.
Just take it. We hope it helps you and your partner become stakeholders in the journey.
But please understand – this is all provided for free. We don’t even ask for a subliminal hint of an obligation from you to engage our services (we arrange the best financing terms, period).
When we encourage home ownership and lead the charge, you (as a future homeowner) make this world a better place.
How?
You divert the transfer of your personal net worth / wealth from the graft of a Private Equity Fund’s pocket (mega-landlord). Instead it goes to YOUR household’s savings and equity (even if your household is only you and your kitty).
As a future homeowner, you will experience more abundance and gratitude.
You no longer need to look over your shoulder for a bear lunging at you. Tenants can become startled and experience anxiety when the following occurs:
Illegal algorithmically calculated rent increases. Unfortunately it’s commonplace in Massachusetts even though illegal.
Leases in a constant state of renewal window or expiration cycle.
“Renovictions” a quasi shady method used by landlords to move along underperforming units/tenants.
Unpredictable volatile tenant interactions: your Chihuahua gives the middle paw-toe to the upstairs Rottweiler and the elevator turns raucous.
Illegal lease clauses – your landlord charging you fees for keys and credit reports and tenant rental applications. Everyone knows it’s illegal but they do it anyway.
Instead you’ll be more likely to invest in, and contribute to, improving your community as you see fit:
Perhaps raising honeybees
Or selling your pocket-garden crop turned into pickle-relish at the local farmers market
Turn your condos livingroom walls into a mural of Bruges.
Either way your dreams will have space to grow by uncorking the creativity that can only come from securing your life’s canvas that is HomeOwnership.
Regarding our home ownership mortgage services?
If you believe in us, you’ll tag us in to continue to help guide you. If you don’t – and we know we’re not a match for everyone so no offense taken – you can still feel free to use our tenant resources for your benefit as a future homeowner.
Our tenant to homeowner resources are well demonstrated. If there was a town called GoldCoast, it would have over 6,000 homes. These homes would provide housing for 15,000 residents.
The town of GoldCoast would have a tax valuation status of more than 3 billion dollars. That’s the equivalent of the entire town of Hamilton (plus a half of Wenham).
It would also have over 800 residents who own or operate their own businesses. The residents would shop and barter with one another. It would not be unheard of to sell homes to each other and their relatives. On the reg they would engage each other’s services and make job offers within the community. At the core, GoldCoast is a cooperative managed by its residents (you, our clients).
Above all else, we’re most proud of the faith and trust placed in us by this community.
