CMS Mortgage · Joanna Xu · Hampton Roads
First 30 Days Social Starter Kit
Your first month of content — written, scripted, ready to film.
Four content pillars, an 8-week theme map, and your first ten posts fully written — hook, a 20–30 second "film this" script, the on-screen text, a ready caption in your voice, and hashtags. Copy any block and go.
Where this fits your week I use these posts to answer first-home questions in two weekly filming sessions. They give me a starting point for Daily 23 lead follow-ups with renters exploring what buying would take.
Do this first
Three moves to start posting this week.
You don't need a studio or a plan. You need to start. Here's the order.
01
Film Post 1 — your "who I am + who I serve" intro today. One take, phone propped up, good light. Done beats perfect.
02
Block two 20-minute "film bursts" this week (e.g. Tue & Fri). Shoot 2–3 posts each burst — that's your whole week in 40 minutes.
03
Post Mon / Wed / Fri. Reply to every comment and DM — that's where the loans actually come from.

Your 4 content pillars
Every post is one of these four. Rotate them so you never run dry.
Pillar 01
From Renting to Owning
I help renters find out what buying would take. We start with lease timing, savings, and a budget that leaves room for everyday life.
Pillar 02
Low-Down-Payment Paths
I explain FHA and conventional options in plain terms. We look at down payments, mortgage insurance, and closing costs together. Program requirements vary; this is education, not a commitment to lend.
Pillar 03
Get-Ready Coaching
I break preparation into manageable steps: credit questions, income records, savings, and pre-approval. I explain what needs review without promising an outcome.
Pillar 04
Hampton Roads Local
I help buyers think about Virginia Beach, Norfolk, and Chesapeake through their daily routines. We discuss commutes, lease dates, and the costs to consider for each home.

A theme per week so you always know what to film. Weeks 1–2 are written below.

My starting points for renters exploring a first home.
From Renting to OwningWeek 1 · Post 1
Renting in Virginia Beach? Here's how to find out what buying would take.
Film this~25 sec
I'm Joanna Xu with CMS Mortgage Solutions. I help first-time buyers in Hampton Roads sort through the move from renting to owning.
I'd start with your lease timing, savings, and what feels comfortable in your budget. Then we can look at what needs attention before you shop.
Message me with the question that's been holding you back.

Educational only; not a commitment to lend. Loan requirements depend on the borrower and property.
Norfolk, Chesapeake, or Virginia Beach: what would your weekday look like?
Film this~20 sec
Before you save another listing, I suggest writing down what a home needs to make room for. Your commute. Your regular errands. The space you actually use.
Then let's talk about the costs of owning alongside the purchase price. I can help you ask better budget questions as you compare homes around Hampton Roads.

Educational only; not a commitment to lend. Loan requirements depend on the borrower and property.
Before you tour a home, let me explain pre-approval.
Film this~25 sec
I want you to understand your budget before a listing grabs your attention. A pre-approval review looks at your credit, income, savings, and debts.
I'll explain what documents are needed and what still needs review. The home itself matters too. Pre-approval isn't a commitment to lend.
Let's talk about that step before you build your shopping list.

I can walk you through pre-approval and its limits before you start touring. Ask me what the review would involve for you.
Educational only; not a commitment to lend. Loan requirements depend on the borrower and property.
FHA is a government-insured mortgage program. You borrow through a lender, and the loan has requirements for both you and the home.
It may offer a lower-down-payment path, but mortgage insurance and other costs matter too. I'll explain those pieces alongside a conventional option so you can understand the tradeoffs.
Ask me for the plain-language comparison.

I don't start by picking a loan label for you. I start by understanding your situation, then explaining how FHA and conventional options differ.
Compliance: educational only; FHA content is educational and not endorsed by or affiliated with any government agency; not a commitment to lend.
Your lease end date belongs in the homebuying conversation.
Film this~20 sec
If you're renting now, I want to know when your lease ends and when you need to give notice. Those dates help us talk about a realistic buying timeline.
A home purchase can take longer than expected. Before you make plans to move out, let's discuss where things stand and what still needs to happen.
You can start that conversation while you're still deciding.

A lease deadline can make buying feel urgent. I can help you separate what you can prepare now from what still depends on the purchase process.

I suggest gathering recent pay records, bank statements, and a list of monthly debts. You don't need to guess at every document before we speak.
I'll help you sort out what applies to your income and explain how to share it securely. Please keep personal documents out of social messages.
Send me a question about the checklist instead.

Conventional doesn't always mean 20% down.
Film this~25 sec
If you've been waiting to save 20% down, I'd like to help you check that assumption. Some conventional options allow a smaller down payment, depending on the loan and your situation.
I'll also explain mortgage insurance, closing costs, and the money you'd want left after buying.
The down payment is only one part of planning for a home.

I can help you look beyond the down payment headline. Let's review the requirements and ongoing costs before deciding which path to explore.
Compliance: educational only; not a commitment to lend. Loan requirements depend on the borrower and property.
Worried about credit? Let's begin with questions, not guesses.
Film this~25 sec
If credit is the reason you haven't asked about buying, I can explain how it fits into a mortgage review. A score isn't the whole conversation. Income, debts, and savings matter too.
Before you open or close accounts to get ready, let's discuss your situation. Changes can affect a loan review in ways you might not expect.
Bring me the question you're unsure about.

I won't promise a result from a credit change. I can explain what lenders review and help you identify questions to address before applying.

Still deciding whether to buy? Give yourself room to compare.
Film this~25 sec
I'm not here to tell you that renting is wrong. I want to understand whether owning would fit your life right now.
Let's talk about how long you expect to stay, what you can set aside, and how you'd handle repairs. Buying adds responsibilities as well as possibilities.
If waiting makes more sense, we can focus on getting ready instead.

I can help you weigh the loan side of buying without rushing your decision. Tell me what you want your next home to change about daily life.

Maybe you're wondering about savings. Maybe it's credit, paperwork, or how buying could fit around your lease. Pick the question that matters most today.
I'm Joanna, and I'll help you understand a practical next step toward your first home in Virginia Beach, Norfolk, or Chesapeake.
