Today on radical personal finance we're going to talk about nine myths and nine facts

surrounding the purchase and ownership of your own home. I'm in the process still of processing the experiences the last three

years, learning all the lessons that I can learn. And today I'm going to share with you some of those

lessons that I learned personally. what's interesting is many of

these myths are pieces of advice that I used to give. If you were talking to me

three or four years ago many of these things I would have said were good ways to consider, good ways to think about the process of owning real estate, and today today I would your host. Thank you

for being with me today. Every time we go through an experience in life, whether it's a positive

experience, a negative experience, we should seek to learn from that experience.

Well, I've been taking notes on the things I've learned and today you get to learn from my experience.

Some of these you expect,

some of them might surprise you a little bit.

There are a few topics of advice where emotions go so deep and advice is so

prominent to a few areas in which advice is so prominent other than the ownership of your own

personal house. Many people have strongly held beliefs, opinions, convictions on

this subject and I'm one of them. But it's interesting sometimes to note on this

is subject and I'm one of them. But it's interesting sometimes to note the times that those convictions change.

I know for me, that's a useful thing to pay attention to.

When your convictions change, there should be a reason behind it and

is always good to process that information. And again, each of these things today, I didn't,

if we were talking a few years ago, I would give you about half of them,

and I'll point out which ones I would have used to have told you

were good pieces of advice.
