Ever since I can remember, I always wanted to buy a house. I was married when I was finally in a financial position to get the kind of house I wanted. I had been spending a lot of time in Los Angeles working and I was tired of staying in hotels. I found myself out there for weeks and sometimes months at a time. When you’re in one place for so long, you want to sleep in your own bed.
I also knew that if I ever bought a house it would probably be in L.A. It’s so different from New York and Atlanta. L.A. is like my chill place. I can be laid-back and relaxed there. I could also see myself eventually settling there, like my retirement spot.
New York is great. I’m from New York. There are so many things to do in New York, and it keeps you prepared for whatever the world has to throw at you. It’s nonstop, fast-paced, and it can be hectic. L.A. allows me to refocus and recharge.
When I was looking at houses, I got some recommendations on properties from a Realtor I knew. It took us less than a month to find the right place in the right location. I’m the type of person that when I see something I like, I know it and I don’t need to keep looking. And I found the perfect place in West Hollywood. It was the right size and the right price. I didn’t want anything too expensive because I was buying this house, not Melo. I also wanted to make sure that I could afford it. Things happen. You have to always be prepared for the worst. And my worst would be buying a house that was crazy expensive. Yes, right now I have money, but what about ten years from now if the work isn’t coming in? Again, I wasn’t buying this place for my husband to pay for. This was something I was doing for myself. So I stayed in my financial lane. I didn’t want to be in over my head.
I found a nice three-bedroom in West Hollywood. I picked West Hollywood because it reminded me of New York. There are restaurants and shops that you can walk to. And the community is diverse. You have blacks, whites, Hispanics, Asians, and gays. It’s a good mix.
It was an older house that the previous owner had torn down and rebuilt. It wasn’t over-the-top or extravagant. I have a room for Melo and me, a room for Kiyan, a guest room (for when Mom visits), and a backyard. There’s a cabana area, which is like my outdoor club, where I spend most of my time with friends barbecuing and watching TV. It’s like being away on vacation right in my own backyard. It is a very nice house and it meant a lot to me that I was able to buy it on my own.
And I had the support of my husband, who knew this was a dream of mine.
