| 0:00.0 | On Air Brands. |
| 0:19.0 | Okay, gang, here we go, getting ready to talk to another first-time home buyer who reached out to me in January and said, I think I want to buy in July. |
| 0:27.4 | And he had a house like five weeks later. |
| 0:30.2 | So, Brian, how are you, buddy? |
| 0:33.9 | Doing well. Yeah, doing well. Just really happy to be on the podcast and try to contribute back to, you know, all that you've been doing too. |
| 0:40.9 | That's awesome, buddy. So are you in your new house right now? Yes, I am. Right now, it looks a little bare in the back walls right now, but slowly getting there and make it more home. That's cool. Well, you know, I always think if you have too much stuff in the background, |
| 0:56.0 | it can look a little busy, says the guy with 900 pictures behind him. |
| 1:00.2 | But, okay, so tell everybody, we like to start with what's your biggest lesson learned |
| 1:07.3 | since you're sitting there in a brand new house and other people would like to be as |

| 1:42.8 | due diligence and research and thinking about all the different things that you could ask. |
| 1:47.6 | Wow. Now, tell us about that. Where are you in that situation? Are you still waiting to figure it out with them? Has it been resolved? |
| 1:55.0 | Yeah. So when I was closing with the attorneys, they told me, you know, you are partly in an easement. And we asked |
| 2:02.6 | them, you know, would we be able to build a fence or anything like that? We had asked the builder |
| 2:07.0 | and the sales person as well. They said, yeah, it should be fine. They made a few calls. They said, |
| 2:13.2 | as long as it doesn't affect your drainage, natural drainage, it should be fine. |
| 2:18.8 | But in the slight off chance that the city comes in, they could knock down your fence |
