VIRAL ON TIKTOK

In 2016, Lee started working in real estate and founded Zap Mortgage, now based in Tampa.
Experts in government-backed mortgage loans offered through the Federal Housing Administration.
Reserved for first-time homebuyers, and the Department of Veterans Affairs – people who have served, are serving, or are surviving spouses of military members with low credit scores.
He first learned about TikTok in 2019 from his then-14-year-old daughter. He thought, 'It's just teenage girls dancing on video.' As it gained mainstream popularity, he watched the mortgage-related videos and thought, 'I can do better than that.'
In 2022, they started posting on the Zap Mortgage account.
After posting 10 videos, he did one about low credit scores and they were into the algorithm, and it went viral with 3.6 million views.
The following month, their applications soared by 1,500 percent. They were able to get their name out there for free, and the buzz spread like wildfire! 🔥✨

Living through American winters often feels like a battle against chapped lips, constant snow shoveling, and the endless struggle with layers upon layers. However, let’s be real, there are few states where you'd willingly embrace the chilly season for a visit. 🧣🧤
Hawaii ranks dead last; North Dakota ranked first as the coldest state in US.
Florida ranks 49th before Hawaii – mostly a humid, subtropical state. Lucky us.
Here are the top 10 states, ranked by winter misery:1. North Dakota – coldest state in the lower 48.
2. Minnesota – temperature plummets to -60°F.
3. Michigan – January is Michigan’s coldest month.
4. South Dakota – known for sites featured in climate-disaster movies.
5. Wisconsin – January is also Wisconsin’s coldest month
6. Iowa – snowstorms, 50 days of thunderstorms, 47 tornadoes a year.
7. Nebraska – January is also Nebraska’s coldest month.
8. Maine – 1,000-miles are sparsely populated because of cold nights.
