Summary
Many things could go wrong in a real estate transaction, but if you want to succeed, you have to be prepared and develop the skills that could equip you to close the best deals. Ashley and Alex paid $2400 for a 600 sq. ft. apartment in Boston. They knew there had to be a better solution for them, so they researched. Alex is analytical, so listen to their story to see how they went from mad about high rent to discovering how to run the numbers and make the plan to switch from tenants paying out-of-control rent to finally being in control and becoming sensible homeowners. Tune in to know how to manage your finances, know when to make a move, and ask the right questions.
This podcast was started for YOU, to demystify things for first time home buyers, and help crush the confusion. After helping first timers for over 13 years, I knew there wasn’t t a lot of clear, tangible, useable information out there on the internet, so I started this podcast. Help me spread the word to other people just like you, dying for answers. Tell your friends, family, and perhaps that random neighbor you REALLY want to move out about How to Buy a Home! A really easy way is to hit the share button and text it to your friends. Go for it, help someone out. And if you’re not already a regular listener, subscribe and get constant updates on the market. If you are a regular and learned something, help me help others – give the show a quick review in Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts, or write a review on Spotify. Let’s change the way the real estate industry treats you first time buyers, one buyer at a time, starting with you – and make sure your favorite people don’t get screwed by going into this HUGE step blind and confused. Viva la Unicorn Revolution!
