Summary
Buying a home is a considerable investment. You have to be sharp and keen with regards to the details of the property you’re eyeing to purchase. If you’re not well-versed in buying a property, you can seek help from an expert. In this episode, David shares the story of how he helped a real first-time home buyer and spent three hours arguing with an agent and an older seller over a $300-door repair on a $502,000-house. David says this is a big lesson for anyone buying a home as this is not a typical purchase, and it gets sillier and sillier moving up to the day you get your keys. Just always remember to stay optimistic, play nice, and keep your eye on the end goal and the big prize. This episode is brought to you by #Ruckpack.
