Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is currently playing in theaters.

Meet Wendy Wiltz, the New Orleans realtor who’s on a mission to empower and encourage the Black community to own and invest in real estate.

Fresh off the heels of inking a travel television series on Tubi and Xumo that follows her global tour of real estate properties, the “Invest Away” host is focused on educating African Americans on the power of ownership in real estate.

With real estate serving as a natural passion for Wiltz, the former model made a career shift to generate a second source of income that didn’t demand too much of her time or physical presence. Since making the shift, Wiltz uses her platform to promote ownership and share the industry keys that are normally gatekept.

As part of her mission, and in honor of National Home Ownership Month, Wendy Wiltz shared five resourceful tips for aspiring homeowners.

1. Automate Savings: Set up an automatic deposit into a separate account and/or consider a money-saving app such as Albert which automates savings based on your income and bills.

2. Strive For the Best Credit Score Possible: Higher credit scores obtain a better interest rate saving thousands in the long run and allowing you to spend more on your home and less on interest payments. Reach out to a credit advisor to determine if there is room for improvement.

3. Speak to a Realtor ASAP: The earlier this is done, the sooner you’ll become familiar with the process and can get answers to your questions. Don’t assume what you don’t know, get the facts. Most Realtors offer buyer and seller consultations completely free and can help guide you in the right direction.

4. Don’t Be Afraid to Compare Lending Options: Not all lenders have the same rates and/or fees. Shopping around for the best mortgage within a 45-day timeframe will result in one inquiry on your credit. This is a big purchase and it’s significant to get the best deal.

5. You Don’t Have to Spend the Entire Pre-Qualification Amount: Don’t be afraid to set your own limits. Let your lender know what you are comfortable spending each month. Avoid being house broke! There will be other things in life you’ll want to do with your family aside from paying a mortgage.

6. Consider Your Day-To-Day Activities in Terms of Location. Purchasing a home convenient to your day-to-day activities can make life easier. For example, don’t hesitate to take the drive from home to your workplace before making the commitment.

It’s a big week for Spider-Fans! Not only is Miles Morales swinging back into theaters with Across the Spider-Verse, but it looks like we will finally get to see him in his own live action movie soon as well. Dan breaks down all the latest Spider-News on today’s episode of Nerdist News!

R. Kelly’s record label are in financial trouble after New York prosecutors filed a Writ of Continuing Garnishment on behalf of the R&B singer’s victims on June 1, 2023.

Court documents obtained by HipHopDX revealed that R. Kelly’s record label, Sony Entertainment, is being demanded by creditors to pay down an outstanding balance. “The outstanding balance on the aforesaid judgment is $504,289.73, including interest, as of June 1, 2023. Interest is continuing to accrue,” one document stated.

According to another document that revealed a credit of $27,828.24 as part of the outstanding balance, more than 30 days has elapsed since demand for payment of the recorded debt. “The Garnishee is believed to owe or will owe money or property to the Debtor, or is in possession of property of the Debtor, and said property is a nonexempt interest of the Debtor,” the document read.

A third document read that Sony Music Entertainment, the Garnishee, is required to provide a written statement within 10 days of being served with the Writ of Continuing Garnishment.

In March of 2023, BLACK ENTERPRISE reported that Heather Williams, who was named as one of R. Kelly’s sexual abuse victims, was awarded access to the “I Believe I Can Fly” singer’s Sony Music royalties. Estimates of the royalties totaled $1.5 million.

R. Kelly’s attorney, Jennifer Bonjean, fought back against a $4 million judgement against the singer. “I’ve never in my career seen such a flouting of the rules to deny him even the opportunity to defend these civil cases, even when the courts were fully aware that Kelly was incarcerated, unrepresented at points, and facing multiple criminal indictments,” Bonjean said at the time. “Indeed, much of these civil proceedings occurred without Kelly’s knowledge.”

HipHopDX reported that R. Kelly was sentenced to two decades in February 2023 and served with the 30-year New York sentence where he was found guilty of racketeering and sex trafficking. A grand jury found the singer guilty on 13 federal counts, which included child pornography and creating a sex tape with a minor.
